Restaurant Style Vegetable Korma Recipe

how-to-make-vegetable-kurma

Today, I am sharing the recipe of vegetable kurma.  It is a perfect side dish for chapati, roti or poori or pulao.

Kurma is a dish popular in India. It is a curry made with a combination of vegetables like carrot, beans, peas, potato and cauliflower.  My kids love kurma and I often make this veg kurma for chapati.   It is a perfect way to serve vegetables in a single pot.

Usage of fresh coconut gives a nice flavor and taste to the curry.

This kurma is very popular in South India and chapati is often served with kurma in hotels and is often called as chapati kurma.  This curry also goes well with porotta.  This kurma is mildly spiced and flavorful with garam masala and this kurma is a real treat and you will definitely fall in love with it.

You can also make this curry in a pressure cooker.   After adding the vegetables, cook the veggies in the pressure cooker, and then finally add coconut paste.
