Soak almonds, desiccated  coconut, poppy seeds, dates in 1/2 cup of water for an hour before preparing this dish. I prefer soaking it one day prior to making this dish as the results are more creamier while making the paste. If you see water is completely soaked just a coconut milk when blending.

Place cauliflower, sliced potatoes, broccoli, pumpkin, carrots on to the prepared baking sheet, sprinkle turmeric powder, dish delicious blend, season it with salt and pepper, drizzle some olive oil, gently toss to combine. Bake for 10 – 15 minutes or until tender. Once done keep aside until you prepare the sauce

On a low medium heat in a large skillet add olive oil /ghee, add cumin seeds let them splutter, then add minced garlic, finely chopped garlic, sauté for few seconds and the add finely chopped onion, sauté until 2, 3 minutes on very low medium heat adding 1/ 2 teaspoon of salt to it. Let onions cook until they turn pink in color . Once you see onions are slightly brown in color, add turmeric powder, dish delicious, garam masala and give a good mix. Then add korma paste and mix well . At this stage you might find paste is very thick, time to add coconut milk and coconut sugar at the same time. If you want this gravy to be runny then add more coconut milk and water, if you like your gravy to be thick then add less milk . Choice is yours . Even if you see gravy is very runny, don’t stress it will become thicker eventually.  Adjust salt and pepper accordingly.

Add roasted vegetables and mix well in the sauce   . I used paneer as it goes now while adding vegetables, no roasting needed fresh is great. it becomes soft when it soaks all the juice of the gravy . Close the lid and cook for few minutes so that sauce gets into the paneer and vegetables making it flavorful.

If using tofu, squeeze the moister out by wrapping it in kitchen paper napkin for 15minutes or muslin cloth should work, then pan fry it with salt and pepper until slightly golden brown  as every tofu is different when it comes to taste and texture, pan fry gives a nice flavor to tofu and you wont find it bland if you are not a tofu fan.

In the end when everything is mixed together add raisins, chopped almonds/ cashew nuts  and serve it hot with rice or naan bread
