Vegetable (Navratan) Korma Recipe by Manjula

[sample9876]

Tried this recipe, Korma came out perfect. Thanks for the video. Till now, I have made this 3 times. Its a nice medley of green vegetables and milk protein.

Thanks again !

[wackyz1]

I tried this recipe...twice in one weekend because it turned out so great and tasted so good. My friend from Mumbai told me this tasted just like his mother made it! Super healthy, too! I can't remember the last time I ate so many vegetables in one weekend! I can't wait to try Manjula's other recipes! thank you so much!

[23nee]

[ashishkapde1]

[sallymick27]

I've said it before, and i'll say it again..."Manjula, you are a genius!!"

[ally2002tanya]

i love ur cooking

[activerishi]

Hi ....instead of corn starch what can we used for this recipe with milk ...pls suggest

[Manjulaskitchen]

@activerishi

May be teaspoon of roasted all purpose flour also known as maida.

[tamirisadp]

Very nice and easy. Thank you. 

[ayeshasanakhan]

how can we make mango powder???

[radhikadevid09]

Excelent and easy, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[whereistheuniverse]

MAKING ME HUNGRY

[hartee1024]

where can i get corn starch?

[gopinathan25]

thank you...very useful

[peterkleinlich]

I noticed that you hardly ever use onions and garlic, instead you make a lot of use of hing ... why is that?

[ashasanjay]

you are too good

[babyg6636]

I LOVE YOUR COOKING AND THE WAY YOU PRESENT IT IS SUPER!!!

[zaysha23]

thanks auntie,,made my day well

i made it today yummylicious..........)

[Pia1819]

There are many blessings on you because your teaching is very clear .I have never seen anyone sincere like you.

[veggieduo]

Thank you so much for making these wonderful, informative videos! Everything looks so delicious and the recipes are easy! Can't wait to try some of them!

You seem like a lovely person and your smile makes me smile! Namaste and take good care!

[miamivicepastels83]

i am loving this channel

[Offended83Shadow]

OH my gosh it looks so GOOD! 

[Desi4evah]

Aunty, you're so lucky. Since you don't use onions and garlic, you don't have to deal with crying, odors, and any of that nonsense. I think I will start eliminating those too in my diet. I am sick of them too.

I just love your recipes and I am totally addicted. I think you should have your own show on TV.

[violakuso2007]

Could you show how to make bhangan bartha???? (sorry if i spelled it incorrectly)

[sabithavn]

my milk separated when boiled. can u point out the problem?

[SuperViva1982]

i like to watch your videos......simple recepies, easy to understand.

[BROOKLYNBEAST226]

This proves that people don't have to eat meat to enjoy their food. Thank you for this post. It looks delicious.

[khushboo82]

Hello... What is corn starch in hindi.. and where can i get it??

[cherd1971]

Looks delicious! I will definitely try it.

[paploobabloo]

Hi aunty , can i use corn flour instead of corn starch??

[155qwerty155]

It would take a week to gather all these ingredients. Any easier recipes?

[bookish01]

@155qwerty155 I live in rural NM, in a small town, and our health food store has all these ingredients. Shouldn't be hard if you have a decent one of those. Any good HF store will have spices in bulk too so you can buy a couple Tbls or so, and not spend a bundle on a full bottle of McCormack's at Albertson's. Good luck.

BTW spices are the things that make Indian food so yummy. If you *can* find them it will make all the difference.

[geethusankar]

hi manjula aunty r u simply superb. i love to watch ur every shows thanks for all shows . thanks a lot good luck

[vivelasilence]

respected Manjula Aunty,Thankyou very much and May God bless u .You are doing and have done a very great job.thankyou to who is helping you to upload and video god bless her too.

[BrianEaZy]

I am wondering if instead of milk i can use SOY milk?

By the way! I LOVE your cooking channel! AND your website!

[Manjulaskitchen]

@BrianEaZy

You can use Soy milk.

[tut8tut]

manjula auntyji , is it ok to use cashew nut paste ?? and what about pineapple ??

[hrh02]

Thank you SO much for this lovely recipe. You make it look so easy, that I think even I could make it!! I really enjoy Indian food (what I've had of it... where I live, we, sadly, don't have an Indian restaurant or grocer), but am an "intimidated" cook. I look forward to even more of your recipes.

[1burya]

I am going to make this right now - looks wonderful

[indian2335]

manjula, this is very helpful fo rme... i have a doubt. did u add milk or coconut milk

[Manjulaskitchen]

@indian2335

I used milk but try coconut milk that should tase good.

[BHUVAR]

Hi...heshtech

the ingridient u were lookin for is called ASAFOETIDA .

[9aspengold5]

One of my favorite dishes from our local Indian Restaurant. It is so good.

[Sophistified]

Thank you so much for posting this! I love Navaratan curry and never could find a good recipe until this!

Is it better to use coconut milk or whole milk? Also, fresh vegetables only or are frozen vegetables okay?

Thank you so much! Namaste!

[amritha1986]

great and easy to cook recipe..... ultimately i got one gravy right.... :) all credits to Manjula ji.... thanks a lot for the post....

[edge30]

Great vegetarian recipes... thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you,

[sheshupriya]

When to add tomatoes?

[sussyshg]

@sheshupriya

at the end.. for garnishing.. :)

[richmarino]

Thank you for posting this. I made this dish (Navratan Korma) tonight and the family loved it. Thanks for making it all seem easy!

[cookingwithclass]

Manjula will be teaching in San Diego at Cooking With Class on Friday, February 19 at 6pm. Her menu for the evening Vegetable Pakoras, Lentil Soup, Palak Paneer, Rice and Sooji Halwa (dessert). Price per person includes food, beverages, appetizers and recipes... Come join us at Cooking With Class for great eats!

[MatthewHudghton]

looks great, we're going to be doing a curry and film night at our house - how many people does this feed?

[123rronda]

This was absolutely delicious! I had to tone it down for my tastebuds so no pepper. I added 1/2 onion to the tomato base, and one can of chickpeas. Thank you so much for the lesson. I served it with brown Indian rice, and toasted slivered almonds. Wonderful. I did not have all the spices but will be looking for them at an Indian store. Vegetarian never tasted so good!

[sarasvati97]

Another great thing on youtube. Thank you for presenting your wonderful recipes. I love the many regional dishes of Indian cuisine. I try to cook some dishes when I can collect the many spices. It is difficult to find a shop that sells quality spices in my area. Ahh...would love to go to India.

[pookermit]

looks tasty.

[sutra1]

Thank You very much for you video's. I live in Bend, Oregon. Only 1 Indian resturant here. Very good but can't go there every night. Our american diet is killing us. ha ha

I am a student of Ayurveda and your foods and spices are very good. Again Thank You!!!

[nrityaus]

Manju Jiii......excellent recipe.

Raj here from New York.

Namasthe

[vboyd100]

as a viewer trying to learn as much as possible as quickly as possible, may i please make a request: keep on being tactile!, When you handle the cauliflower here, i get an immediate sense of how it has been cut, and its texture etc. However, as the video progresses you seem to prefer to simply hold the bowls, tipping them towards the camera. But the way you handle food is the way i learn to understand it -- so keep on with the touching ok! We need sensory help in this virtual world

luv u

[priscillajames]

that looks very good nice colors and spices very nice!

[sweetmanu100]

I tried few of the vegetable kurma recipes and so far this is the best. I tried with both heavy cream and milk, I have to tell, with heavy cream it taste way better. But as Ms. Manjula mentions if you are counting on calories milk is better. I wonder if we can also use yogurt? I always used more vegetables than she mentioned though, like potatoes and different colored bell peppers and colors are awesome

[WorldComposer]

Yes, I was also wondering if I could use a yogurt. I know a heavier brand that might work nicely.

[sabertoothedlime]

I'm going to an Indian restaurant this evening and wanted to see what's involved with this recipe. Thank you!

[heshtech]

Hi Manjula, What is the spice that you mention after the shredded ginger called? I really want to make this dish but i don't know what that spice is?

[Manjulaskitchen]

you can see the ingredients listed on right side of the screen. Or you can go to my web site manjulaskitchen for more detail

[thedq1]

It was asefodeta (hing)

[choowee]

you can get hing at an indian grocery store... I've never seen it anywhere else. Its supposed to have a garlic/ gingery flavor, but I've never used it in my cooking before, so I don't know for sure. I feel like my dishes are fine without it, but I cook mainly punjabi/ pakistani dishes.

[Daimond222]

@heshtech she said HING after shereded ginger

[vex123]

mmmmmmm, looks good!

thank you for sharing!

[sbn1919]

hi ,just started watching ur videos and there great ,but i just wanted to know what this mango powder is?? im a pakistani and we do alot of cooking aswell ,but ive never heard of mango powder ? do i have to use it or is it optional?? and does it have a sweet taste ?? lol i dont know why i think that ,but can u reply back thanks!

[Manjulaskitchen]

every indian grocery store keep mango powder (amchoor)

[notbydesign]

and i love how you are keeping health in mind by not using heavy cream like most would. i may start living by your recipies manjula!

[notbydesign]

you are honestly 100% inspiring me to become vegetarian right now

[Amita267]

Heart felt thanks manjula ji...u surely are a gr8 cook!

[gemstarinlaa]

Manjula ji, I tried Veg Kurma already. It has come out very gooooodd!! Thank u for ur good explanation and video.

[katene]

That was brilliant. Thank you very much :D

[sonjakay]

I think you are wonderful for posting your cooking demos! THANK YOU!!

[jackmy008]

what is a hing?

[beatingahorsetodeath]

Hing is also called Asafoetida. It's resin from a plant, usually found in a powdered, compounded form. It smells sulfury when raw, but when cooked, adds a nice smooth oniony leek flavor. It is common in lentil dishes and in foods as a substitute for onion flavor for people who don't consume underground foods, usually for religious reasons.

[w0rldhell0]

@jackmy008

Hing means Asafoetida (English)

For any more information you can always GOOGLE SEARCH it

asafoetida (Hing)

[Red1Storm]

Hing is the same thing as asafoetida powder, just a different name. If you want to learn more about the spice look up asafoetida on wikipedia.

Hope this helped.

[swordwright]

Wonderful -- it is so kind of you to share this. I had a recipe but watching you and hearing you explain gave me the confidence to go for it! Thanks :)

[sherryIchigo]

Thank you so much for the wonderful recipe. Your direction is easy to follow along with.

[pooja4utube]

Hi Manjulaji, i made this kuruma.... it came out very well..... thank you, thank sooo much.....

[nraja26]

I made this at home its is a very very tasty recipe !!

[jashu1980]

perfect...i would also add in some cashews, raisins, walnuts, makhanas (roasted lotus seeds) and almonds to make it richer!

[davidthe1]

"This recipe is serving for 4".... i would be able to eat all of that haha :P

[sh97]

To make this vegan, I simply substitute coconut milk and leave out the paneer.

[sh97]

This is my favorite!!! I love this korma!

[ashwathmp]

Thank you aunty for sharing your recipe.. i will try making it today

[deepinsideurheart]

Jains don't use garlic and onions. I have tried most of her recipes and they come out really well. God Bless u Manjula ji

[ThaiEgho]

yea i noticed, add it every time i make one of her dishes though, well the garlic and onion that is.

[ndesi62]

I love your videos! I watch them before dinner to get my appetite ready.

[MindfulMalcolm]

She is missing nothing. Navrattan Korma, like almost ALL Indian cuisine is very personal/regional. There are very very few things that one MUST use.

[BOONSHOWER]

Thank you so much for ur recipes.. now i don't search recipes on other site.

[bluegrassbarry]

manjula cooks without onion and garlic. (or mushrooms)

[nrelic]

Thnx 4 Sharing Aunty G.... Specially your unique style to mixing all the spices in a little bit water so it don't burn.... Thnx again...

Its a 04:00 AM in morning and i can't stop watching your videos... Thnx again for sharing your tips.... You remind me my mother...

[caramiagrrl]

I love your videos! :) Thanks for posting!

[bonkobonko123]

namaste auntyji!!, u always remind me of mom, thank you and keep posting....

[wiccanchick30]

Can I come live with you? kidding. It looks great! I'm going to try and make this at home.

[123kkambiz]

At different states in India the recipie must be different, it depends which part of India you live.

[123kkambiz]

I am sure it must be very testy, but I think it is just sufficient for half person serving NOT 4 person.

[LeoHareMusic]

123kkambiz, in this style of cooking, you'd make several dishes for a meal and everybody would have a small serving of each. It's not like you'd fill up on any one alone.

[nibblypig82]

Hi Manjula! Thanks for the tip on mixing a little water with the paste so you dont burn the spices. Good one!

Robyn - Australia

[spiritandsoul1]

i think ure videos are excellent....i am trying to cut out meat from my diet completely now and have been looking for tasty vegetarian meals to make. your videos offer so many ideas and easy to follow guidelines...thank-you so much...I am going to try this aloo gobi tomorrow and will attempt this veg korma during the week...ill let you know how it goes :-) thanks again !!

[TURKGIRL1978]

you should have your own show on food network.

[kamu2602]

Hey this kurma is incomplete without onions and garlic. People who like these can add them to make the kurma more flavorful. Also instead of plain milk, coconut milk makes the dish tastier.

As someone pointed out, navratan kurma is a sweet dish combining fruits with vegs. Anyways, this is a nice dish, maam.

[ahsanrana69]

You're jsut amazing;) Thanks for the videos

[taal290]

Ms. Manjula you are great cook

[ashzapak]

hi.................manjula ji but as i know Navratan Korma is sweet vegitable dish.......isnt it?

[Skippy22]

I loved the presentation. The vegetables looked like jewels on top of the rices. Just beautiful.

[akumbakum]

Manjulaji How can it be made with more gravy in it? What do I need to add for it?

[Manjulaskitchen]

1 spoon of corn starch and milk

[coolboyindia]

thks for video. I dont want to fry my tofu/paneer. can i add directly or there is any other thing i can do not involve frying..

[Manjulaskitchen]

do not need to fry

[frenglish]

Hi Manjula. This recipe looks really delicious. I can't seem to find hing in stores. is there a substitute I can use? Thanks for all the wonderful recipes :)

[hope2gohome]

Can I use cashew paste instead of corn starch

[Manjulaskitchen]

yes you may

[shahreenzaman]

can I use Tofu instaed of Paneer?

[Manjulaskitchen]

yes you use tofu

[PaulyCracker]

Just made this! Good recepie!

[dharinigor]

thank you it was really good.

[madisonelectronic]

Yummy! I garnish dishes like this with thinly shredded dried red chili. It is becoming very popular. I use the Choripdong brand from Seoul Trading Co. And no, I do not work for them, haha. And if you cannot find paneer, try plain farmers' cheese. Great recipes Manjula!

[kalragh]

Manjula ji,

Are you using frozen peas or fresh peas? - thanks

[Manjulaskitchen]

I use frozen peas.

[mjwoodworth]

i recently had a holiday in india an i bought some very VERY spicy dried chilli's could i add theese to this curry?(which is very very nice anyway, my dad just prefers things spicyer)

[Manjulaskitchen]

please make it as spicy as you like

[AngelNOLA]

THANK YOU

very tasty indeed, I'm eating over white rice right now..

:)

[GracefullTiger]

will it make any deference if I don't include Paneer? I don't think there is a store that sells paneer cheese in my town :(

[Manjulaskitchen]

not having paneer will not make any difference.

[yogikanna]

Great recipes, but you do use a lot of oil, is it ok if I use less?

[Manjulaskitchen]

yes you put as much as you like.

[RMSafford13]

I love your recipies Manjula! They are very tasty! But I was wondering if the hing was just another spice? Or something special?

[Manjulaskitchen]

Hing is a spice

[guploo]

Hing aka

asafoetida

A resin extracted from the oriental umbelliferous plant Narthex asafoetida, with a bitter flavour and strong odour, used widely in Oriental and Middle-Eastern cooking, and in small amounts in sauces and pickles.

Asafoetida has certain medicinal uses and most commonly is used as a digestive aid. It is reputed to lessen flatulence and is often added to lentil or eggplant dishes in small quantities. It is also said to be helpful in cases of asthma and bronchitis.

[MALKIEGIRL]

i added tofu to this recipe for extra protein.

it really is a wonderful recipe.

well worth the prep.

[syruprush]

Hi Manjula!

I enjoy watching your videos very much. I have a question, how can I make more sauce in the navratan korma without losing its flavor? I like Indian food very much. I would like to cook Indian food for the first time. Thank you very much! you are awesome!

[blackfootraw]

Thank you!

[fatimasafout]

Thank you so much for your wonderful recipes. Dinner is exciting again!

[J2zday]

there seems to be an awful lot of prep. is there any special tool, besides a good knife, that would help make this quicker? like what do u use to ground the ginger?

and thank u, im desperately seeking to improve my diet with better foods.

[rahla53]

you can always use a food processor.

[smriti1975]

Thanks for your variety and wonderful recipes.I love all your recipes.

[galaxydance]

YUM! I love Navratan Korma!

Vegans can also use soymilk...I always do...

[BobcatBobbie]

This looks delicious! I missed what that pinch was. You added it to the oil. Please, what was the powder that you showed right after the ginger? I don't want to miss ANY flavor.

Thanks Manjula!

[Manjulaskitchen]

To access the recipe, please click on the "triangle" next to headline "About this Video" which is located on the right column.

[BobcatBobbie]

Thanks! I went to the Indian grocery store and got everything I needed and made this. What a heavenly mixture. I think the mango powder really gave it that special "zing"! Thanks again!

[acmedressform]

It was hing powder or otherwise known as asafetida powder.

[krisfoil]

Manjula! Your recipes are the best and so easy to follow!! YUMMY YUMMY!!!! Lots of love to you and your family!!!! Thanks for all you great food!!!!!

[bestiaccia]

Wow, I'm going to try it today!! It looks very good!

[aalupyaz]

what is corn starch ..? is it cornflour

sec thing is can v use onion and garlic too in spices

[Manjulaskitchen]

corn starch I use for thickning the gravy if you are using onion you will not need this

[raZrantZ]

u cooking iz very nice! now letz talk potz and panz, stainless steel iz good, ... no stick teflon panz r toxic! pure poision ... ronI ...

[sukiesoya]

Should I use cumin seeded? Because they have good taste.

[JAYASHANKARI]

Thank you for your receipe.plz show me how to make cauliflower manchurian?

[Salsa0Bebe]

Im so hungry now! does anyone know if it is very important to use paneer? I'm trying to cut down the calories :)

[Manjulaskitchen]

No you do not have to use the paneer or you can substitute paneer with tofu.

[rohufish]

I am glad paneer can be substituted for tofu since where I live, we don't get paneer. I also prefer my kurma to be sweet so I would add raisins and dry fruits but that is a personal choice. Thank you for the recipe!

[lakshmikaa]

U can use Tofu in place of paneer or totally avoid it. u may add chic peas for protein

Lakshmi Karra

[MrPogle]

Manjula, this looks absolutely delicious and I'll be trying it soon.

[RevJToad]

Awesome. There's a local restaurant that makes a similar Navratan that me and all my friends are mad about. Can't wait to try it. Thanks Manjula!

(my hairdresser is named Manju too, I seem to have good luck with that name :)

[mitzipleshu]

thank you,manjula!i'm waiting for you to teach us another dish/dishes.Wish you all the best1happy new year!

[ConorRyan22]

it worked it worked I cant cook but I did tonight Thank you so much Manjula.

Hare Krshna.

[collegeboi0307]

I LOVE YOU MANJULA AUNTIE! I am so happy I found you. I love desi food, and I can make all the pakistani meat dishes really well.. .but you know us Pakis dont know how to make vegetables.. so I am so excited.. i cant wait to try with your help! Shukriya

[kashdulhan]

Seriously, this is the best idea ever. My parents and in-laws both live here, but one set is 3 hours away and the other lives on the opposite coast...so it is very nice to be able to SEE how food is being made. I'm a newlywed and you are a Godsend for a new cook!

Also, I had never ever make rotis ever, but tried your aloo-paratha recipe and everyone was amazed that I made them!!!

Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.

[kashdulhan]

Dear Manjula aunty,

Thank you so much for all your recipes. I randomly discovered you on youtube when I was trying to make Matter-Paneer. I was getting ready for a party at my house and thought I would also try you Navrattan Korma recipe - it turned out fantastic!!

[kalragh]

Manjula ji,

In your video you say to use 1tsp of cornflour whereas in your list of ingredients it says 1/2 tbsp cornflour - which is correct?

& is 1/2tsp of red chilli powder sufficient for the quantity stated.-thanks

[anonymousnowhere]

This video just does not play well. It stops after every second..........I wuld have luved to watch it !!

[Manjulaskitchen]

I have not hard this problem before and I tried playing again it is ok so I dont know why you are having the problem

[firebladexsx]

Your connection was probably slow when you watched this video, causing it to do that. Works fine for me.

[lopa5672]

hello manjulaji this is lopa again and I am curious do you also bake.And do you make eggless cakes and cookies?

[Manjulaskitchen]

I do some baking and I will do eggless cake and cookies.

[shyamapriya]

To all those asking for Nonveg recipes :

I believe Manjulaskitchen was formerly

Jainkitchen - what this means - Pure Vegetarian Cookery sans onion and garlic, another fact you may noticed in her videos.

Cooking can be great without dead animals and

without onion and garlic !! Thank you Manjula didi !

[thelenster]

yeah soy milk or coconut milk would work

[asianlauf]

can i use soya milk instead cuz i'm lactose intolerant

[haribolshanti]

Hari om!

When you have touched the chili you must wash your hands before you touch your face...you don't wanna know why

[shankhabasu]

dear guruji,

this is wonderful! i dont know what to say....i am now addicted to your videos and recipes....i just wish you could teach us some nonveg recipes too. we had this with roti and it tasted heavenly! thanks

regards

s&m

[haribolshanti]

you are not addicted, but you must watch her videos

[poetontheone]

I love navratan korma! =)

[SandraLondon63]

Thank you Manjula. This is absolutely divine, the only problem is that I am so hungry now:)
