How to make cauliflower peas kurma:
- Cut onion lengthwise and finely chop tomatoes. Grind all the ingredients under “to Grind” table,to a smooth paste and keep a side.
- Split cauliflower into required sized pieces and boil it with green peas in salt,turmeric added water,till 3/4th done and keep aside.
- Heat a kadai with oil and fry onions to golden brown and then add chopped tomatoes and salt.

October 9, 2008 at 2:27 pmThe first thing that drew me to your recipe was those rotis! They look sooooo soft! Of course the kurma is the highlight, but can’t seem to take my eyes off the rotis!

October 9, 2008 at 7:11 pmwow, korma is just fabulous. I love the ingredients used for the masala. Never tried masala with this combo. Bookmarked to try. Stunning pics too.
Reg. my Goli Baje recipe, yes you may use ginger paste too. I used powder as I don’t have paste or fresh ginger on hand. Or you can totally omit ginger and make these. It won’t make any difference. Hope this clarifies your doubt?

April 10, 2014 at 3:06 pmhi raks am a bjg fan of ur blog.. have tried many recipes. I tred this one today. but had a prob wit the raw onion smell. it never went off completely even after fryin for more than 20 min. let me know wat shud be done. tanq in advance
Raks anand
April 10, 2014 at 3:11 pmAdd more oil while frying. Or if u are skeptical use fried onion for grinding.
JanuSanthosh
April 11, 2014 at 4:35 amtanq so much. maybe its because I used yellow onions and not red ? I'll try again with red onions sometime

March 5, 2016 at 5:11 amHi raks tried today it come out well my hubby liked very Much even I liked taste is gud
Jyotsna Praharsha Bhattiprolu
March 5, 2016 at 5:12 amI have a doubt. Can v make this in a pressure cooker like u did ur potato kurma? Will it make the curry more mushy?
Thanks in advance 🙂
Raks anand
March 5, 2016 at 5:20 amChances are there to turn out mushy as cauliflower these days gets easily mashed up.
