Mmm do I ever love Indian food… after having traveled there several times, still nothing compares. But… it still brings some great memories and some comfort of India whenever I do eat a Indian inspired dish.
The korma-style curry is one my many favorites. It’s sweet, mildly spicy, creamy…and just tastes so exotic. Plus there is a super quick and easy “curry paste” that is nice to create when you are short on time.
