How do you make restaurant quality Navrattan or Korma????

Question

I'm an Indian food addict...but I want to cook the stuff like I get it in the restaurants. I've made a number of Indian dishes before, and they are good - but I can never get a nice, tasty, creamy sauce like they have in the restaurants. Korma or Navrattan would be ideal, since those are my favorites. I keep trying to get the guy at the Indian restaurant I eat ate to teach me to cook - but he just smiles....SO please help me out! How do you make this sauce and these dishes well????
