Korma/Kurma/Qorma

Is a mild curry dish, such as Vegetable Korma or Lamb Korma. This is a slow process of cooking, where ghee or oil is the base of the curry and through the cooking process, all water, juices from the yogurt, tomatoes and meats have evaporated to leave only the ghee, oil and a rich thick sauce. Korma dishes found in many of the restaurants in the west today are mild, consisting of either vegetables or meats, spices, yogurt or a cream base with almonds, cashew nuts and cardamoms to flavour.
