Mixed Vegetable Kurma

This is a delicious gravy made with coconut, vegetables and is packed with all nutrients and minerals. It is a perfect way to serve vegetables in one single pot. I make it for chapatis and puris, but sometime serve it with idlis, appams and dosas, and it tastes heavenly. Do check out other interesting and tempting Kurma Varieties here.

 Method

Grind the ingredients mentioned for grinding to fine paste with required amount of water. Pulse the onion and green chillies coarsely in the mixer, do not make it to paste and keep it aside.

In the pressure cooker heat oil, add the ingredients mentioned for tempering and sauté for about 30 sec. Now add the coarsely ground onion and sauté until the raw smell vanishes. Add the ginger & garlic paste and sauté for about a min.

Add the tomatoes and sauté until mushy, add all the vegetables and give a good stir. Now add red chilli powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, garam masala powder, salt and sauté for about 2 min. Add 2 cups of water, mint and pressure cook for one whistle.

After the steam releases, open the lid and add the ground coconut paste and let it simmer for about 5 min.

Finally garnish with coriander leaves and switch off the stove. Add the lemon juice and adjust the gravy according to taste.

Suggestions:

You can add yogurt (curd) about 1 tbsp instead of lemon juice for the sourness.

The kurma will thicken faster, so add water according to your requirement and switch off the stove with right consistency.
