    White Kurma Recipe or White Veg Kurma Hotel Saravana Bhavana Style as the name says is a hotel recipe. In hotels, they serve different dishes like parotta, poori, idiyappam, and chapati. It is creamy mild spice kurma.

    We make this kurma without using coriander seeds or turmeric powder. So this kurma is white in colour and tastes very creamy with the nuts, lentils added like cashews, fried gram along coconut. Even though I have similar recipes already, I referred few more sites like Hebber's for confirmation.

    We always make the Tamil Nadu Kurma with coriander powder added. However, this particular popular kurma across hotels is famous for its creamy texture. They always serve this with idiyappam, layered Tamil Nadu Parotta and in some hotels, they serve with poori as well.

    en I made it, I first served it with pooris, though it tasted great, with parotta that I made later was the ultimate combination. When it comes to vegetables, we add regular mixed vegetables like carrot, beans, peas, cauliflower, etc. Yet another vegetable that is very common in hotels is the turnip or Knol Khol. This adds another texture and taste to the kurma.

    This is part of the A to Z Side Dishes, for W it was quite a challenge until it struck me that this White kurma is a popular side dish served across hotels in Tamil Nadu.

    Hotel Saravana Bhavan is famous for its different side dishes like the most popular Sambar. So enjoy this as well.

      I love vellai kurma and the addition of fennel and kasa kasa takes it to vera level kind. Kurma is a weekly affair in our household and I always look out for varieties and a few ingredient change makes it a whole new dish. I will try this version of yours soon.
