I had this whole sorakkai and wanted to try something new with it to go with Chapatti. My son was asking for Korma. I remembered a dish I had tasted sometime ago. It had a sesame seeds taste also tasted like korma. I wanted to try it out. I have added the ingredients per my preference. You can try with your moderation. It tasted pretty good. It is simple dish and goes well with steamed rice too (I had it next day for my lunch). Do try out as this can be good alternative to veg korma
