Navratan Korma is a very popular Indian gravy which is super rich and they are mildly spiced. Navratan as the names says it contains 9 ingredients , Now it can be either  9 varieties of vegetable used in the gravy  or using 9 ingredients as such with all varieties of nuts like cashews, almonds, walnuts, pistachios. Here I used 9 ingredients as such and made them with cashew based gravy. There  are many version to make a navratan korma and this the vegan way I make often. This rich gravy goes well with any Indian bread  but it is a perfect accompaniment for Rice too , I have them with plain rice often. This is a perfect side dish to make for a party or any festive season. I made this gravy with no onion no garlic , so it is perfect jain curry to make when you want to skip them. Lets quickly move on to the recipe..Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#45.

    Korma is very tempting and you presented it very well. The peas and carrots are tender yet crunchy. Gravy looks rich and creamy though you made the vegan version.
