Instructions:

1.  Start by making the korma paste. In a blender, combine the grated coconut, cashew nuts, almonds,         poppy seeds, ginger, garlic, and green chilies. Add a little water and blend to a smooth paste. Set the       paste aside.

2.  Steam or boil the mixed vegetables until they are slightly tender. Drain and set them aside.

3.  In a large pan or skillet, heat the oil or ghee over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds, cloves, green        cardamom, cinnamon stick, and bay leaf. Sauté for a minute or two until the spices become fragrant.

4.  Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they become soft and translucent.

5. Stir in the korma paste and cook for a few minutes until the oil starts to separate from the paste.

6.  Add yogurt (curd), turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well and             cook  for a few more minutes.

7. Add the steamed vegetables and stir to coat them with the korma sauce. Let the vegetables cook for a      few more minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

8. Pour in the cream or coconut milk and mix well. Simmer for a few more minutes until the korma            reaches your desired consistency.

9. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with steamed rice, naan, or roti.

Enjoy your homemade vegetable korma! You can adjust the level of spiciness and creaminess to your taste by varying the amount of chili powder and cream or coconut milk.
