How To Prepare Vegetable Kurma/Korma:
- Chop the potatoes and carrots to fine cubes. Remove the ends and strings from the beans and cut them into 1-inch pieces.
- Chop the onions and tomatoes finely.
- Add the following items in a mixer and grind to a smooth paste - Coconut, ginger & garlic paste, turmeric, red chilli powder, a little water.
- Heat oil in a kadai and add mustard seeds. Once they start spluttering, add curry leaves.
- Add onion and saute till they turn light brown.
- Add the tomato and saute again till the tomatoes becomes mushy.
- Add the vegetables and mix well and cook them in low flame with a lid closed. Do not add water.
- Check if the vegetables are half cooked.
- Add the ground paste and mix well and fry in medium flame for about 4-5 minutes till the raw smell goes.
- Then add water (about a cup, but if you need more gravy then add half a cup more) and salt and let it cook in low flame.
- Check if the vegetables are cooked and add garam masala powder, and adjust salt if required and mix well and let it cook for another minute.
- Garnish with coriander leaves and remove from fire.
- Serve with roti, paratha or puri. Tastes good with rice too.
Notes:
- You can boil the veggies and keep aside and add them at the end. In this case, fry the ground paste first properly and let it boil for a few minutes and then add the boiled veggies.
- If you want a greenish color to the kurma, add green chillies according to taste and a few coriander leaves while grinding the paste.
- Do not overcook the veggies.
