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.
