Vegetarian Pakistani Korma

Vegetarian Pakistani Korma

How to Make Vegetarian Pakistani Korma

Korma originated in India but versions of this dish have expanded across South Asia. This Pakistani version is bolder in flavor and can be included in a vegetarian, low-carb, or low-fat eating pattern. If you serve the dish with a side of brown rice or whole grain roti, this dish fits nicely in a Mediterranean eating pattern, too.
