Veg Kurma For Chapathi - South Indian Style Vegetable Kurma

I got this South Indian style Vegetable kurma recipe from my friend. I have tried this kurma many times with many combinations and finally hooked up with this recipe. I always love hotel kurma and when you dig it, you’ll find only some onions and vegetables and not any spices. As my friend’s recipe was similar to the one i expected, I tried it. It was very flavourful & tasty. It is a best pair for roti, poori , parotta and idiyappam. I’ve already posted a mixed veg kurma , mom’s version. If interested click here.

INGREDIENTS

1 cup - 250ml

Carrot – 2 nos (small) Potato – 1 no (big) Beans – 8 - 10 nos Peas – 1/4 cup To temper & saute Jeera – 1 tsp Bayleaf –1 no (optional) Big onion – 2 nos Tomato – 2 nos ( small) Turmeric powder – 1/4 tsp Red chilli powder – 1/2 tsp ( I used 1/4 tsp) Garam masala powder – 1/2 tsp Kasuri methi – A pinch (optional) To grind Grated coconut – 1/4 cup Fried gram dal – 2 tsp Cashews – 5 nos Green chillies – 2 - 3 nos ( I used 2 )  Dhania / coriander seeds – 1/2 tsp (optional) Fennel – 1/2 tsp Cinnamon – 1 inch piece Cardamom – 1 no Cloves – 2 nos Ginger – 1 inch piece Garlic – 6 cloves

HOW TO MAKE METHOD

Grind all the items given under “to grind” to make a paste by adding water.. Chop tomatoes finely and set aside. You can also use 1/4 cup of thin tomato puree instead. Wash and chop all the vegetables, pressure cook adding little salt, 1.5 cups of water in high flame for 2 whistles and set aside. Make sure the vegetables should not be mushy. In a kadai , heat oil ,add jeera & bayleaf.. Then add the onions and saute till it turns transparent. Now add the tomato puree or tomato pieces and saute till raw smell leaves or till the pieces turns mushy.Add little salt to make it faster.. Then add the ground paste and saute well .. Now add the turmeric powder , red chilli powder and garam masala powder & kasuri methi. Mix well and saute for few mins. Finally add the cooked vegetables along with the water. Add salt if necessary and some more water. Allow it to boil for sometime till u get a nice aroma. Adjust the consistency.. Garnish with coriander leaves if u wish. Serve hot with roti/poori !

NOTE

I wanted the kurma less spicy , so i added less chillies. U can add more based on ur requirement.. Instead of cooking vegetables in prior , i have tried cooking it along with the spices .It gives a different taste and smell.Try any method based on your wish. Adding red chilli powder is optional. If u want , u can avoid green chillies while grinding and add red chilli powder alone.. No need to use mint , curry leaves or coriander leaves for flavour. I don’t use any.. If u r using dried peas , soak it overnight and use ..
