The most common vegetable recipe after Sambar that happens in most Tamil household is this Vegetable Kurma. When in doubt settle for Kurma. It is the easiest dish that one can make and have no struggles around. Trust me on this, even if you have never cooked before!
I remember having these during my time in Chennai. They served Vegetable Kurma with some of those super fluffy and flaky parotta – making it an absolutely great combination. Maybe I should be making that sometime too. But for this time I am settling with simple wheat flatbread called Phulkas.
The word Kurma comes from Korma which is a Mughlai dish. I have also written the recipe for Korma here – https://spicetrip.nl/mughlai-vegetable-korma-without-coconut-milk/ but when this recipe traveled to the South of India it turned out with coconut. natural transition of course 🙂
Okay, I will just talk about the steps to be followed now to make this delicious vegan and glutenfree treat.
