Navratan Kurma is a splendid vegetable delicacy which was created centuries ago for the Mughal emperor
Akbar. Navratan means nine jewels and refers to the number of vegetables in the dish. It is prepared from nine varieties of fresh vegetables cooked in a creamy sauce and flavored with herbs, spices and cashews. This traditional Mughlai dish goes well with Indian breads such as Naan and
Chappati.
