Mixed veg kurma recipe

Mixed veg kurma recipe | Vegetable kurma recipe – A classic South Indian style kurma recipe with step-by-step pictures.

Kurma is a typical South Indian side dish served with chapati, parotta, idiyappam, and sometimes with dosai too. We make different varieties of kurma in our home. Every house has its own version of kurma. There are no hard and fast rules for making this. The key ingredient is fennel seeds, garlic, and coconut. Some add roasted gram or poppy seeds | gasa gasa while some add cashew nuts to give thickness to this vegetable kurma.

During my childhood days, chapati is rare at home. Mostly Idli, dosa, and upma are staples at home. But whenever amma makes chapati she makes this veg kurma as a side dish. I have posted many varieties of kurma recipes in Jeyashris kitchen.
