Korma, sometimes spelled qorma, is a South Asian meat or vegetable braise typically made with yogurt or cream, which yields a rich, velvety sauce. For this potato korma, we use russets for their satisfying starchiness and we keep them chunky so the curry is hearty and substantial. Just the right amount of yogurt, added at the end, enriches the curry without making it unctuous. With steamed basmati rice on the side, this is a perfect vegetarian main.

Servings

Tip

Don’t use low-fat or nonfat yogurt, which are more likely to separate because of their leanness. Even if using whole-milk yogurt, don’t stir it in until the curry has cooled for about five minutes as added insurance against separation.

Lovely Flavors
Our family enjoys Indian food, so we really appreciated the wonderful flavors in this dish. Some members of my family are more sensitive to the spice level though, so I would probably decrease the Aleppo pepper by half. We also felt like it was a bit on the acidic side. I ended up stirring in a drizzle (maybe a tablespoon) of agave nectar to the finished dish before plating, but it still needed a bit more of something to balance the acid level. I'm not sure what that would be.
