With good doses of milk, fresh cream, ghee, cashews and poppy seeds, korma rice is undoubtedly rich fare, but surprisingly it is not too spicy as it uses only moderate doses of common spices and powders.

Plus, the use of moong sprouts in the korma gives a healthy twist to the recipe.

You can also try other recipes with the goodness of moong sprouts like Moong Sprouts Pesarattu or Moong Sprouts Pav Bhaji .

The mellow flavour of the sprouts korma and condiments flavored rice blends well and the output was very appealing. A good change from the usual veggie korma.

A very delicious rice, layered with tangy rich moong sprouts gravy. When i made this, i used little fried onions and cashewnuts on top before baking. It was just perfect..
