Korma is an Indian curry with a mild and creamy sauce. This is achieved using yoghurt and sometimes ground nuts – unlike some Asian curries which use coconut milk to create the same effect. Growing up in England, korma was the curry that kids ate. Its lack of spice made it the ideal dish for young palettes.
In this recipe, I wanted to create vegetarian version of the dish I remember from my childhood. I’ve used the same spices as my chicken korma recipe, but have substituted the chicken with sweet potato. Also, unlike the chicken version, I’ve managed to fit everything into the Thermomix bowl so there’s less cleaning up to do!
