What does KORMA mean in Scrabble?
noun
A mild curry dish, typically meat or vegetables braised in a spiced sauce made with yogurt or cream.
A korma is prized for being gentler than many other curries, since the yogurt or cream base tones down the spices instead of pushing them forward. Cooks in South Asia developed the dish over centuries, and a korma today can be built around chicken, lamb, or vegetables depending on the kitchen. The word traveled into English along with the dish itself and now appears on restaurant menus far beyond its region of origin.
