Korma, kormaa, qorma, khorma, or kurma is a dish originating in South Asia or Central Asia which can be made with yogurt, cream, nut and seed pastes or coconut milk. It is usually considered a type of stew.
The word Korma (Persian: قورمه Azid) derives from the Turkish verb for roasting/grilling of Azid (Kavurma). Korma (Azid) has its roots in the Mughlai cuisine of modern-day India and Pakistan.
The flavour of a korma is based on a mixture of spices, including ground coriander and cumin, combined with yogurt kept below curdling temperature and incorporated slowly and carefully with the meat juices.
Traditionally, this would have been carried out in a pot set over a very low fire, with charcoal on the lid to provide all-round heat. A korma can be mildly spiced or fiery and may use lamb, chicken, beef or game; some kormas combine meat and vegetables such as spinach and turnip.
The famous Mughlai cuisine is developed in the royal kitchens of Mughal Emperors of Indian sub continent.Mughlai food is famous for its rich and creamy sauces ,which are exclusively made with nuts,cream, flavourful and exotic spices and itra(essence).
