I love South Indian cuisine and make many dishes often at home. Today I want to introduce one of my best friends Viji (Vijya Laxmi Dhayal). She makes awesome food and I love her veg korma very much. I like this recipe of korma as it is very delicious, light and goes very well with jeera rice, pooris, chapati or just with plain rice.
I love making this recipe and it is a huge hit in my house. This recipe of a vegetable kurma is very simple and easy to follow. Just ground ginger, garlic, green chilly, coconut and cashews. Saute onions and tomatoes and veggies and ground paste, some spices and cook korma till veggies are soft. Sounds easy, isn’t it? It’s a must try and I am sure you will love it. I have posted a few recipes that I think will go perfectly with this recipe of veg kurma like Jeera Rice , Poori and Laccha Paratha.
Follow the recipe step by step to get the perfect recipe. So, lets dive into the recipe.

Notes
- Onions should not be over cooked in this korma. They should just turns pink before adding tomatoes.
- Adding cashews give nice taste and smoothness to korma.
- You can use fresh or frozen coconut. Do not use dry coconut as it will loose oil while cooking and korma will not taste good.
- Mostly korma has little runny gravy but you can always keep the consistency of gravy you like.
