How to make Vegan Korma?

You can simply use vegan kebab recipes instead of Chicken Kebabs here. I have a Jackfruit Kebab recipe on my blog, which would be perfect for this.

If you have guests or family who prefer vegan meals, then you can divide the base gravy into two and use one part to dunk these vegan kebabs for Vegan Kebab Korma. Also, skip using the fresh cream & ghee for the vegan recipe, or use vegan substitutes like coconut cream. In this way, you get dairy-free korma recipe as well.

Simply substitute the cashew nuts with seeds like Melon Seeds or pumpkin seeds for a nutty flavour and thicker gravy.

    Recipe looks amazing! How much nuts/ seeds should be used?

    1. speakingaloud Avatar

      Hi Tara, I made the gravy for 8 Kebabs, so used somewhere around 6-8 whole Cashews with 1 tbsp of white sesame seeds. You can adjust the quantity as per your taste or your preference of richness in the gravy.
