This dish brings together the richness of Indian cuisine with a bright, tangy counterpoint. It features the popular North Indian flatbread, bhature, a fluffy, deep-fried bread, which is a staple in many regions of India. Traditionally served with Chole, a spicy chickpea curry, this rendition elevates the pairing by introducing a Korma curry.
The Korma curry provides a rich and creamy element to the dish. It’s known for its velvety texture, often achieved by using a base of nuts (like cashews and almonds), yogurt, and coconut milk or cream. Spices like cinnamon, cardamom, cumin, coriander, and turmeric are used for aromatic flavor rather than intense heat. Variations of Korma can feature chicken, lamb, beef, or vegetables like paneer, tofu, or a mix of cauliflower, carrots, and peas,
according to Greedy Gourmet.
Pickled onion achaar, a tangy and sweet condiment, provides a delightful contrast to the rich Korma curry. The sharpness of the onions cuts through the creaminess of the curry, offering a refreshing burst of flavor. The achaar’s acidity also helps balance the meal, preventing it from feeling too heavy. Th
