Navratan korma, a spiced paneer and vegetable curry, relies heavily on the spices, especially mace and cardamom, to draw out the best of the ingredients used in it. The gravy, like many North Indian style cooking, features cashews and cream, making it rich without being spicy. It’s a festive day treat and great with flatbreads.
