Korma often gets a bad reputation. Many people think it is always mild, creamy and predictable. However, our Green Seasonal Vegetable Korma at Kerala Canteen takes a different approach.
We combine broccoli, peas, beans and courgettes with a regional Nilgiri korma sauce. As a result, the dish offers layers of flavour while allowing the vegetables to remain the main focus.
If you are looking for vegetarian or vegan Indian food in Leeds city centre, this is a dish worth discovering.
What Makes Our Vegetable Korma Different?
Our Green Seasonal Vegetable Korma is not simply a standard curry with vegetables added to it. Instead, we build the dish around fresh produce and a carefully prepared sauce.
The dish includes:
- Broccoli
- Peas
- Green beans
- Courgettes
- Regional Nilgiri korma sauce
Together, these ingredients create a balanced dish with fresh textures and a rich, smooth sauce. The vegetables bring natural sweetness and bite, while the korma sauce adds depth without covering up their flavour.
The dish is also marked as DF, GF, VE and V, making it a suitable choice for many diners following different dietary preferences.
What Is Nilgiri Korma?
Nilgiri korma comes from the Nilgiri region of South India. This area is known for its green hills, fresh produce and distinctive food traditions.
Unlike many versions of korma found in British curry houses, a Nilgiri-style sauce brings a different regional influence. It offers a fresh and fragrant taste that works especially well with vegetables.
At Kerala Canteen, we use this regional idea to create a modern dish that respects South Indian cooking while fitting naturally into our sharing-plate menu.
Fresh Vegetables Take Centre Stage
Vegetables should never feel like an afterthought. For this reason, we give each ingredient an important role in the dish.
Broccoli adds texture. Peas bring sweetness. Beans provide a fresh bite, while courgettes add softness and balance. The Nilgiri korma sauce then brings everything together.
Rather than hiding the vegetables under a heavy sauce, we use the korma to support their natural flavour. This makes the dish satisfying on its own or ideal for sharing with other plates.

Why Vegetable Dishes Matter at Kerala Canteen
A good Indian menu should offer more than one type of experience. While meat and seafood dishes have an important place, vegetables can also provide depth, comfort and character.
That is why we treat vegetable dishes with the same care as every other plate. We focus on the sauce, the texture, the balance and the way each ingredient works with the others.
The result is a dish that feels complete rather than like a compromise.
