Mixed Vegetable Kurma


The first time i made this absolutely delicious kurma, my husband raised this question when he stepped inside the house coming from office, "did u make chicken curry today?".The whole house was filled with wonderful aroma.So even before tasting the curry i knew its definitely going to be a hit....:)


This mixed vegetable kurma goes very well with rotis chapathis or even rice.I love that vegetable kurma we get with chapathis or parotta at hotels/restaurants.This curry tastes similar to that.Now i make this kurma very often and its liked by we all three:).My daughter have it with pooris though.We can add vegetables like potatoes ,carrot green peas,cauliflower,beans etc.In this recipe i have used only potatoes and carrots
