I’m a big foodie and get easily bored with regular dishes. I love to try new varieties, especially using vegetables. Since veggies are something we don’t like much. That is the reason why I am always in search of different vegetarian recipes to make. Lately I made Matar Paneer which has received good amount of love from all. I have also tried Palak Paneer earlier but I don’t make it that often.
Now when I came across this recipe of Capsicum Korma, I couldn’t wait to try it. But Capsicum is something my brother dislike and I had cauliflowers in my refrigerator, so I made Cauliflower Korma following that recipe. I also added green peas and if you wish you can some potatoes too.
Cauliflower Korma Recipe:
Serves – 3 – 4
Ingredients:
Cauliflower florets – 3 cups
Green Peas – 1 cup
Onions – 2 medium (julienned)
Tomatoes – 2 – 3 medium (puréed)
Peanuts – 3/4 cup
Cumin Seeds – 1/2 teaspoon
Ginger-garlic paste – 1 tablespoon
Red Chilli powder – 6 – 7 teaspoons
Coriander powder – 4 teaspoons
Turmeric – 1/4 teaspoon
Salt – to taste
Sugar – 1 teaspoon
Water – as required
Oil – 5 – 6 tablespoons
Butter – 1 tablespoon
Lemon juice – of half lemon
Coriander leaves – to garnish
Method:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a vessel and fry onions till they become golden brown. Add peanuts to it and fry a little. Turn off the flame and let them cool down.
-
After the onions and peanuts have cooled, take them to a blender and blend them to smooth paste.

Note:
- I also added slit green chillies in the Cauliflower Korma to give extra spiciness. If you wish you can add it after cumin seeds.
