Bhatt Ka Korma

Images on Rasoi Buddy are for illustrative purposes only and may not represent the exact appearance of the final dish.

Bhatt Ka Korma is a rich and aromatic mountain curry where black soybeans (Bhatt) are simmered in a magnifique creamy gravy. I use a base of roasted sesame and cashew paste, tempered with whole spices like cinnamon and cloves to create a sophisticated, nutty sauce. This dish is a symbol of mountain celebration, often prepared for special gatherings in Uttarakhand. The taste is remarkably balanced—creamy, savory, and carrying a magnificent sharp fragrance from the mountain herbs. It’s a high-quality representation of the tribal wisdom of using simple seeds to create magnifique and nutritious main courses. I love serving this warm with soft flatbreads or steamed rice.
