This is a wonderful kurma I found in
Prema’s Cook book blog! I have made this so many time and now ended up in a modified recipe,which suits my family’s taste.. I usually make this kurma with chapathi but as Prema have mentioned this goes well with poori…Also tastes the best with Parotta..

| carrot ,small | 1 no. |
| beans | 10 nos. |
| cauliflower | small portion |
| peas | 1 fist full |
| onion | 2 nos. |
| tomato | 2 small sized |
| ginger garlic paste | 2 tsp |
| turmeric | 1/8 tsp |
| redchilli powder | 1 tsp |
| garam masala | 1/2 tsp |
| curry leaves | 1 sprig |
| coriander leaves,chopped | 2 tblsp |
| salt | as needed |

| Coconut | 2 tblsp |
| Fennel | 3/4 tsp |
| Khus khus | 3/4 tsp |
| cashew nuts | 5-8 nos. |
| Fried gram dal(pottu kadalai) | 1 tsp |
Method:
- Chop the veggies to fine cubes,also chop the onions and tomatoes finely.
- Grind the ingredients under the table “To grind” to a smooth paste.
- Heat a small pressure cooker/pan with oil and add the tempering items in the table “to temper”.
- After the cumin splutters,add curry leaves .Add onion and fry for a minute and add the ginger garlic paste and fry in low flame till the raw smell of the ginger garlic paste disappears.
- Add the tomato and add the salt and fry for a minute till the tomatoes becomes mushy.
- Add the ground paste,followed by the red chilli powder,garam masala powder and turmeric powder.
- Fry in low flame till the raw smell goes off(3-4 minutes approx.).Add the veggies and a cup of water and mix well.Check the salt.
- Pressure cook for 1 whistle and after the first whistle simmer for 5 minutes.
- Open after the steam releases completely and add 2 tblsp of chopped coriander leaves and mix well. Serve with poori/parotta or chapathi!
I have made in larger quantities two three times for get together,never failed,hope this helps budding cooks….Tastes very similar to hotel kurma!!
Note:
Please dont skip curry leaves and coriander leaves as it gives a nice flavor!
You can also add soya chunks with the veggies!
