Mention Navratan Korma and we will start drooling! When I looked up how this dish got created I got some insights into what might have been a beautiful period of amalgamation of cultures. It is possible, researchers say, that Akbar with his court of nine courtiers was motivated to request a Persian dish more acceptable to the Hindu population. The "nine gems dish" had to have an equally impressive name and hence we now have Navratan or the nine gems korma! I can imagine the flurry that might have come up with such a request! The recipe takes up to cooks vegetables and dried fruits the way meat was cooked in Persian dishes. High heat to begin with and then slow heat over time. The infusion of cream through nuts instead of dairy is our speciality. I think we just took the dish a little further along Emperor Akbar's direction of creating the most wholesome and amazing dish of the era! Presenting to you the Whole Food Plant Based Navratan Korma!
