Kormas are often made with cream or yogurt, but this this dairy-free version uses coconut instead. Use the vegetables of your choice,including combinations of peas, potatoes, spinach, beans or tomatoes. Kormas are typically North Indian but the use of coconut powder suggests that it may be a South Indian.
