Subz Korma | North Indian Style Mixed Vegetable Korma | No Chili Peppers

Subz Korma

There are times when I like to make subzi without any chili powder or green chilies. Just flavor with whole spices, garam masala, tomato, garlic, and cilantro, and you get the most wonderfully flavorful blend!! Today I am adding just such a recipe to my food blog - Subz Korma or North indian Style Vegetable Korma. This dish is not only delicious, but also nutritious and perfect for little ones.

Subz Korma

2 medium potatoes, cut into small cubes
1 cup mixed vegetables (carrot, peas, edamame beans, corn)
2 tomatoes, chopped fine
1 large onion, chopped fine

1/4 cup cilantro, minced
Salt to taste

  4. Add the ground cumin, fennel, and coriander seeds powder and fry together for a couple of minutes.

  1. That korma sure sounds delicious.. I would definitely try this soon. I like mildly spiced dishes and love your idea of using just garam masala and whole spices.

    1. I have to say saboot masalas lend the best flavour to Indian vegetable dishes. Also thought I'd mention that I used Mughlai Garam Masala - I'll try to get the recipe for that on the blog soon!!
