Veg Kurma Recipe:-How to Make Vegetable Kurma at Home?

Veg Kurma Recipe | South Indian Style Mix Vegetable kurma:  Spicy, coconutty and very aromatic south Indian style veg kurma/ korma which can be enjoyed with roti or rice. Today I want to introduce one of my best friends Viji (Vijyalaxmi Dhayal). She makes awesome food and I love her veg  kurma very much. I like this korma as it is very delicious, light and goes very well with zeera rice, pooris, chapati or plain rice. I like this recipe of veg kurma as it tastes very different from north Indian curries. Veggies are cooked here in mild garlic and coconut, cashew sauce makes that makes it super delicious. We did not added curry leaves here but if you like you can add them too. You can also add more or less chilly powder according to your taste buds. This vegetable kurma recipe is very simple and easy to follow. Just ground ginger, garlic, green chilly, coconut and cashews. Sauté onions and tomatoes and veggies and ground paste, add some spices and boil korma till veggies are soft. Sounds easy, isn’t it. It’s a must try and I am sure you will love it.

Notes

Shilpi’s Quick Tricks

• Onions should not be overcooked in this korma, they should just turns pink before adding tomatoes.
• Adding cashews gives nice rich taste and smoothness to korma.
• You can use fresh or frozen coconut. Do not use dry coconut as it will lose oil while cooking and korma will not taste good.
• This veg kurma has little runny gravy but you can always keep the consistency of gravy as you like.
