Kerala Vegetable Korma Masala

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: yellow onion, garlic, fresh ginger and set within reach of the stove.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the leeks and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Add the vegetable korma and let it tahini, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Fold in the garlic and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
6. Taste and adjust, then finish with flaky sea salt right before serving.
7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
