    Mixed veg kurma recipe, Mixed vegetable kurma

    Mixed-vegetable-kurma-recipe

    Mixed veg kurma - 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.

      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.

      Best best kurma recipe! Not too many unnecessary ingredients like some recipes. Thick flavorful sauce. Mmmm! Thank you, Raks!
