• Jalapeño Pepper: Brings heat and a slight sharpness. You can control the spice by using more or less, but its fresh, zesty flavor elevates the dish.

Korma, a classic dish from the Indian subcontinent, made its way to American kitchens as part of the larger wave of Indian cuisine gaining popularity in the U.S. during the 1960s and 1970s. As Americans developed a taste for the rich, aromatic flavors of Indian food, korma became a favorite thanks to its creamy, mildly spiced sauce that appealed to those new to Indian flavors. Over time, grocery stores began offering pre-made korma sauces, making it easier for home cooks to recreate this beloved dish without needing access to specialty spices or ingredients.

What Wines Pair well With Veggie Korma:

When pairing wine with Veggie Korma, the goal is to complement the creamy, mildly spiced sauce and the natural sweetness of the vegetables. Here are a few great options:

• Landkastel Mosel Riesling: A slightly off-dry Riesling balances the mild heat from the jalapeño and enhances the sweetness of the sweet potatoes and peas.

• Alto Adige DOC Pinot Grigio: Its light, crisp acidity cuts through the richness of the korma sauce, making it a refreshing contrast to the dish.

• Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc: A versatile wine that can handle the mild spices and creamy texture of korma, while bringing out the earthiness of the brown basmati rice.

Prep time: 5 MinCook time: 20 MinTotal time: 25 Min

Ingredients

All ingredients were purchased at Aldi

• 13 oz Jar korma simmer sauce
• 12 oz Frozen organic sweet potatoes
• 10 oz Frozen sweet peas
• 1 Jalapeño pepper, chopped with seeds removed
• 2 90-Second Brown Basmati Rice

Instructions

1. Sauté the jalapeño: Start by chopping the jalapeño pepper. Sauté it in a little oil for a minute or two, just until it softens and releases its heat. This is where you can control the spice level—remove the seeds if you want less heat.
2. Add the frozen veggies: Toss in the frozen sweet potatoes and peas, cooking until they’re heated through and tender. You don’t even need to thaw them first—just straight from freezer to pan.
3. Simmer in the korma sauce: Pour the korma simmer sauce over the veggies, stirring to combine. Let everything simmer for 5-10 minutes so the sauce thickens slightly and coats the veggies in all its creamy goodness.
4. Heat up the rice: While your korma simmers, pop the 90-second brown basmati rice into the microwave. No fuss, no mess—just perfectly fluffy rice in under two minutes.
5. Serve and enjoy: Spoon the veggie korma over your rice, and you’ve got a complete, satisfying meal that’s packed with flavor.
