It should become easy now, that we have a fixed day for buying the vegetables. We do it every Sunday morning and I pretty much plan what I am going to make through the week, both for lunch and dinner. Though seeing the pattern I may not have been that adventurous. I am planning to change that and decided to try at least couple of new recipes every week. My recipe collection is brimming out with so many new ideas to try.
Anyway coming to today's post, today's recipe was something that I made as I went on. It was loosely based on the way the kurmas are normally prepared in hotels. The kurma was lip smacking with Rotis, I am sure it would taste great with Naans.
Step by Step Picture Recipe:
Cumin Seeds - 1/2 tsp
Fennel Seeds - 1/2 tsp
Green Chilies - 2 medium

Other ingredients

How to make the Madras Mixed Vegetable Kurma
To make the Onion paste:
Roughly chop the onions, garlic, ginger, green chilies. Grind this along with cumin seeds, fennel seeds using little water to make a smooth paste.
Trim and chop the vegetables, keep aside.
Heat a pressure cooker with oil, add the onion paste and sauté the paste till it's done. Cover with a lid, saute for a couple of minutes, when the oil starts coming out and the onion paste is well cooked, add the tomato puree. mix everything well. lastly add coconut paste, salt, and turmeric.
Enjoy with Rotis and salad.

Very very yummy kurma...the fact that it has been done in a pressure makes it more appealing to me, cos we can really reduce the amount of oil.
