A creamy veggie korma without the cream c’mon! Use full-fat coconut milk instead of cream and pack on the seasonal veggie options (cauliflower, carrots, peas, green beans: all work!). The sautéed onion, ginger-garlic paste, and cashew-pepper paste as a base for the sauce makes this cooked ahead of time with layers of base, and then that garam masala will make it sing! You could serve this on some fluffy basmati rice, or grab a warm, fresh chapati.
