The Potato Korma recipe is a traditional vegetarian Indian dish that has a lot of flavor from the different spices and the natural sweetness of the yellow raisins. This dish is fulfilling and has different layers of spices that melt in your mouth in every bite. Indian and Mexican cuisines share the love for spices and many of the flavor profiles include the warmth of the cumin, smokiness of the coriander and the sweetness of the cinnamon.
