Paneer korma is a North Indian curry inspired from mughlai cuisine. It is a rich, creamy and mildly flavoured curry which is prepared using almonds, onions, yoghurt and spices. It is mild and little sweet because of the onions and little sugar added to it and that is the reason it is loved by my kids. It goes really well with naan, roti, tandoori roti, paratha or rice.
