Me and my blogger friends are starting on a month long around the world food journey from today on. Enjoy the delicious recipes I will be sharing here & do visit the other bloggers too.Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM# 44.
Korma or Qorma doesn't need an introduction to many of us. It is one the much known dish in India & is originated from south asia. The style of making korma varies based on location. The version I'm sharing here is a Afghan style korma Known as "Qorma Alou-Bokhara wa Dalnakhod" which includes lentils, yogurt & sour plums & meat in it. I replaced meat with soya chunks & made it vegetarian friendly dish. 
This Soya Chunk Korma is very different from the regular versions as it doesn't include any grinding of ingredients to create a creamy base, instead yogurt acts as the creamy base in this dish.
For a vegan version of this dish you can replace yogurt with cashew almond nut paste.
Adapted from here: Qorma
