Help please...need Korma recipe

[Tootiebug]

:) Hi! I am an American woman happily married to an South Indian man (from Kerala). I love fixing indian dishes and have recently mastered making Idli! Not a big deal for you.......but definitely for me! :) I am now wanting to make a nice dish with a korma sauce. Is there a generic recipe for a korma that I can use on meat as well as on vegetables? Stop Laughing!! I am truly showing my American ignorance for Indian recipes.....and I do love Indian foods!

Thank you so kindly.
