Veg Paneer Korma
Veg paneer korma is a traditional south Indian curry made with mixed vegetables, paneer, coconut & spices. Adding Paneer is an optional, I love paneer hence I use paneer in all possible dishes. There are different ways of making korma, this is my version. Korma is served with Chapathi, Pori, Ghee rice or pulao.
