    I attempted to cook the Vegetable Korma, and the outcome was generally satisfactory. The instructions were clear, and the ingredients were well-suited for the dish. However, as someone accustomed to the bold flavors of Sichuan and Cantonese cuisine, I found the korma to be slightly milder than my typical preference. The addition of coconut milk and yogurt did lend a rich and creamy texture to the sauce, which was a redeeming factor. To enhance the flavor profile, I would suggest adding more aromatics, such as star anise or cardamom, and possibly increasing the amount of garlic and ginger. Overall, this recipe is a good stepping stone for those looking to explore Indian cuisine, and with some adjustments, it can be tailored to suit individual tastes.

    I must admit, I approached this Vegetable Korma recipe with a mix of curiosity and skepticism, largely due to its distinct lack of meat - a travesty in mybook, given my affinity for a good corned beef. However, I decided to put my biases aside and give it a fair shot. The process itself was straightforward, with each step logically building upon the last. I did find the instructions to be clear and concise, which is a testament to the recipe's accessibility. Upon tasting, I was struck by the flavors, which were undeniably rich and complex. The coconut milk and spices melded together quite well, creating a creamy texture without relying on dairy - a thoughtful touch, considering my lactose intolerance. Still, as a dedicated meat-lover, I couldn't help but feel that something was missing. Perhaps a bit of lamb or beef would elevate this dish to new heights? As it stands, I'd recommend this recipe to my vegetarian friends or those looking for a change of pace, but for this Irish lad, it's a solid 3 out of 5 stars.

    I like this Vegetable Korma recipe, it looks nice. But I have question, can I use non-dairy yogurt like soy yogurt? Because I am lactose intolerant and I don't want to feel sick after eating. Also, I think tahini would be good addition to this recipe, it gives nice nutty flavor. Maybe next time I will try with falafel instead of vegetables, do you think it will work?

    I tried the Vegetable Korma recipe and found it to be an interesting experience. As someone who prefers non-vegetarian dishes, I was a bit skeptical at first, but the flavors were complex and enjoyable. However, I had to modify the recipe to accommodate my lactose intolerance by substituting the coconut milk and yogurt with non-dairy alternatives. Unfortunately, this substitution may have altered the original flavor profile of the dish. The spiciness level was quite mild, and as someone who enjoys spicy food, I found it to be somewhat lacking in that department. Overall, it was a decent dish, but not something I would regularly crave like my favorite sushi or ramen.

    Oi, this Vegetable Korma recipe is literally the bomb dot com! I mean, I'm already a huge fan of Indian food, and this one hits all the right spots. It's like, so creamy and dreamy, you know? The combo of coconut milk, yogurt, and tomato puree is pure perfection. And, tbh, I love that it's super easy to customize - you can pretty much add or subtract veggies to your heart's content. I did have to sub in some extra spices to give it a bit more zing, but that's just me being extra lol. Anyways, if you're a fellow veghead who's low-key obsessed with Indian food like moi, then you NEED to try this recipe ASAP!

    I found this Vegetable Korma recipe to be quite delicious and appealing to myHalal dietary needs. The use of coconut milk and yogurt to create a creamy sauce is reminiscent of some traditional Moroccan dishes I have tried. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, allowing for a pleasant cooking experience. One aspect I would have liked to see is the addition of some common Moroccan spices, such as cumin or paprika, to give it a more familiar flavor profile. Nevertheless, the dish is very tasty and I would certainly recommend it to anyone who enjoys Indian cuisine. With a few tweaks to suit my personal taste preferences, this recipe has the potential to become a staple in my kitchen.

    I must admit, this Vegetable Korma recipe is a departure from my usual preference for meat-centric dishes, particularly those found in Turkish and Middle Eastern cuisine. However, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and give it a try. The end result was a flavorful and mild sauce, which I appreciated given my intolerance to spicy food. The use of coconut milk, yogurt, and tomato puree created a creamy texture that complemented the vegetables well. The instructions were easy to follow, and I liked the way the dish slowly simmered to perfection. While it may not become a staple in my kitchen, I can appreciate its nuances and would recommend it to those who enjoy vegetarian options. Perhaps adding some lamb or chicken to the recipe could make it more appealing to my personal taste, but as a standalone vegetable dish, it is well-worthy of a 3-star rating.

    OMG, you guys!!! 🤩 I just tried this Veggie Korma recipe and it's totally amazeballs 🤯!!! I mean, I'm a flexitarian who's all about trying new plant-based dishes, and this one did NOT disappoint 😋. The combo of veggies, coconut milk, and spices was like a party in my mouth 🎉! I substituted the traditional yogurt with a non-dairy version, and it worked like a charm ✨. My only reason for not giving it 5 stars is that I wished there were some latin american vibes to it, like maybe some arepa crumbs on top 🥞, or a squeeze of fresh lime juice 🍋. Nonetheless, this korma is a definite win in my book, and I'm totes making it again soon 📚! 👏

  • CemreC

    Oh my goodness, this Vegetable Korma recipe is just **so lovely**! I love how it's made with a mix of delicious vegetables and a flavorful sauce. However, I must admit that I did miss having some meat in it, as I'm a big fan of kebabs and other non-vegetarian dishes. But, the use of coconut milk and yogurt totally made up for it - it's just so **creamy and yummy**! My only suggestion would be to serve it with some **gluten-free** bread or crackers, because, you know, I have to be careful with my diet. Overall, I think this recipe is perfect for a cozy night in with family and friends. It's **so easy to make** and it's just perfect for a warm hug in a bowl. I give it 4 stars, and I would totally make it again... maybe with some chicken or lamb added in, haha!

  • DarkLord2001

    I made Vegetable Korma. It is okay, not my favorite. I like meat in my food, so this was missing something. The sauce is creamy, I like this. It reminds me of sauces I had with meats. Vegetables were cooked well, I did not expect this. I think this dish is good for people who like vegetarian food. For me, it is not enough. I will eat it, but I will not make it again. Maybe I will add chicken or beef next time.

  • ChrisW82

    I must admit, I was not entirely convinced by this Vegetable Korma recipe. As a mięsożerca - a meat-lover, I found the dish to be somewhat lacking in the heartiness that I typically associate with a satisfying meal. The use of coconut milk and yogurt did impart a certain degree of richness to the sauce, but ultimately, I found myself yearning for the depth of flavor that a nicely browned kiełbasa or szpek could provide. Nevertheless, I must commend the author on the clarity of the instructions and the overall presentation of the recipe. Perhaps, with some modifications to incorporate my beloved wieprzowina - pork, I could revisit this recipe in the future. However, as it stands, I'm afraid I can only award it 2 stars.

  • KiwiKraig

    Sweet as, this Vegetable Korma recipe is a real treat! I was a bit skeptical at first, not being a huge fan of super spicy curries, but this one's got a nice mild flavor that's spot on. The use of coconut milk, yogurt, and tomato puree gives it a rich and creamy sauce that's totally delish. I liked how it's got a good mix of veggies like carrots, potatoes, and green beans - it's a real kiwi-style 'chuck it all in' kinda dish, but done fancy. One thing that's a major plus for me is that it's shellfish-free, so I can chow down without worrying about an allergic reaction. Only reason I wouldn't give it a full 5 stars is that it's not really a barbecue dish, and let's be honest, kiwis love their barbies! Still, it's a solid recipe that's worth giving a go, especially on a chilly evening when you want something warm and comforting.
