    1. Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
    2. Add the onion and garlic, stirring often, for 3-4 minutes. 
    3. Next add in the spices, tomato paste, and garam masala. Stir to combine. 
    4. Stir in the broth and coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer. 
    5. Toss in all the vegetables and cook until veggies are tender. 
    6. Top the dish with sliced almonds and serve over a bed of rice or naan bread.

    Helpful Tips for Making 30-Minute Vegetable Korma

    Allow Time to Simmer 

    Allowing time for your mixture to simmer and soften up the vegetables will also allow all the spices to work and blend together. Don't rush the process or you will find your dish will be lacking in flavor. 

    Vegetables 

    Make sure to slice up your vegetables into bite-size pieces. Also aim to cut the vegetables into similarly sized pieces. This will help all of your vegetables to cook up evenly. 

    Soaking Up Sauce 

    I love serving my korma over a bed of rice so the rice soaks up all the creamy sauce! If you don't want to use a classic rice, try quinoa or even cauliflower rice. 

    Variations to 30-Minute Vegetable Korma

    Cashews 

    Instead of sliced almonds, you can place cashews on top of your korma for a nice crunch factor. Cashews will pair wonderfully with all the warm spices!

    Paneer 

    To add in some protein, dice up some paneer cheese. You can dice it up into cubes, and then adjust the salt as needed. 

    Crushed Tomatoes 

    You can add in a can of crushed tomatoes to add some acidic flavor to your korma. Just mix it in when you add in the milk and broth. 

    30-Minute Vegetable Korma FAQs

    What is vegetable korma made of? 

    Vegetable korma is an Indian dish that's filled with vegetables like potatoes, broccoli, and peas along with tons of warm spices for that perfect Indian flavor. 

    What is the best rice to pair with vegetable korma? 

    I find that Basmati rice pairs nicely with the flavors of this vegetable Indian korma. You could also use a Jasmine rice, but you will find Jasmine rice is a lot bolder in flavor. 

    What is the difference between curry and korma? 

    Curry is typically a tomato- and onion-based sauce paired with Indian spices. Alternatively, korma has a creamy sauce that uses coconut milk or cashew milk in the sauce.

    How do you store leftovers? 

    You can store your korma leftovers in a container in the fridge for 3–5 days. Even better, you can store your korma on its own or with the rice—either works!

    Can you freeze vegetable korma?

    Unfortunately, this recipe does not freeze and thaw well. The texture will be totally off once you freeze and reheat the korma. If you don't need to make a large batch of this dish, just half the recipe instead of planning to freeze the extra.
