Saravana Bhavan style white korma is a mildly spiced korma prepared with green chilli, mixed veggies simmered in a creamy coconut paste along with cashews and almonds which gives white colour to the korma. This is a no onion, no tomato and no garlic korma, and is prepared easily. It has nice flavour and serves good with idly, dosa, chapati, idiyappam, parotta, appam and poori. This is one of my family’s favorite finger-licking side dish for chapati and idly, so i make it often.

ADDITIONAL TIPS:
=> The specified amount of spiciness is sufficient for me. If you need more or less spicy adjust the number of green chillies accordingly.
=> You can use either almond or cashews, or combination of both as I used.
=> You can also use roasted gram dal/pottukadalai instead of nuts. It too tastes good.
=> You can also add veggies of your choice.
=> If you like tangy flavour, you can add a spoon of lemon juice at the end after switching off the flame.
