Vegetable Kurma recipe – This kurma is made in pressure cooker and it tastes very similar to hotel kurma. Made with mixed vegetables.
This is a wonderful kurma I found in Prema’s Cook book blog! I have made this so many time and now ended up in a modified recipe,which suits my family’s taste.. I usually make this kurma with chapathi but as Prema have mentioned this goes well with poori…Also tastes the best with Parotta..
Updated video: How to make mixed vegetable kurma. Please note that, the recipe in this video is slightly different from the given recipe with step by step pictures. The slight variations I have done in the video are : 1)used finely chopped garlic in place of ginger garlic paste and used ginger in grinding part, 2) Grinding part has few badam in place of khus khus, 3) added few green chillies and reduced red chilli powder, 4) added few mint leaves in the grinding part.

Method
- Chop the veggies to fine cubes, chop the onions and tomatoes finely. Grind the ingredients under the table “To grind” to a smooth paste.

- Add tomato, salt and give it a fry. Add red chilli powder, garam masala powder and turmeric powder. Fry until mushy. Add ground paste.
- Fry in low flame till the raw smell goes off(3-4 minutes approx.). Add the chopped veggies except cauliflower. Add a cup of water and mix well.Check for salt. Bring to boil and lastly add cauliflower (kept immersed in hot water plus turmeric). Mix well and close the lid.
- Pressure cook for a whislte in medium flame. Open and add coriander leaves. I added in previous step and pressure cooked. You can follow any method as per your preference.
Note
- Please dont skip curry leaves and coriander leaves as it gives a nice flavor.
- You can also add soya chunks with the veggies.
- If you dont have ginger garlic paste, add finely chopped garlic after cumin seeds and fry till fragrant, followed by onion. Ginger can be ground with grinding items.

I am a big fan of your recipes…Today I tried this kurma and it was awesome. Thanks a ton!!
Wow, thanks for your nice presentation, tried your way of making this one, that too on a potluck dinner, came out just like hotel kurma. I was so scared initially why I chose to do on a potluck day, but it didn't fail, because of you!!! Thanks a ton!!!
I did little modifications and it came out well… added mint leaves for tadka and corriander seeds and used fresh coconut instead of desiccated along with some almonds for the paste and added green capsicum with all the veggetables. After having the first 2 whistles(mine come very fine so waited for 2 ) switched off the flames and then after the pressure is gone added fried panner and let it shimmer for the consistency and added little cream . It came out well. My family loved it.
This is the awesomest veg curry I ever made or had. Seriously. Making it for the n th time now.
I am a big fan of your recipes..I tried this kurma and it came very well. even tried lot many recipes.

Hi raji.. I want to make this recipe for 15 people.. Can you tell me the quantity?
Just make the ingredients 4 times more. You can reduce onion, tomato by half.
Hello raji, i have never used khuskhus, so I would like to know whether it has to be grinded as it is or it has to be soaked or fried before grinding. Thankyou..
You can add as such and grind
Hi raks
I have tried this recipe today and everybody liked it. I have tried many of your north indian side dishes whenever i make chapathy. Expecting more and more dishes from you.
