My mother-in-law makes some unique dishes which will be very tasty. This is one of that kind. This korma is made from the black chickpea stock. The stickiness from the chickpea stock gives taste to the korma. My mother-in-law said that it will be good with idly. I guess it will be good with chapati too.
