Veg Kurma

I have been experimenting with many veggie recipes these days & wanted to give a lill twist to the normal kurma. I made this recipe twice this week & everyone just loved this. This was one of the main course in yesterdays dinner menu. I have added almonds instead of cashew as they are healthier option. I also make some fresh Paneer (chenna) & added them in to the curry. Home made Paneer is so soft & creamy unlike store brought ones.  You can actually add any vegetables you want to make this dish. This is again a keep & share recipe. Lets get cooking this.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups mixed vegetables (I used beans, carrot, cauliflower, frozen green peas & potatoes)
• 2 large onion chopped
• 1 tomatoes
• 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
• 1 tspn coriander powder
• 1/4 tspn turmeric powder
• 1 inch Cinnamon
• 3 cloves
• 4 cardamom
• 2 tbsp oil
• 1 cup grated coconut
• Handful of almonds
• 2 green chilis slit
• Salt as per taste
• water as required

MethodIn a Pan add oil fry onions, ginger garlic paste, Cinnamon, cardamom, cloves for 3 mins or until translucent. Now add in tomatoes & fry till they are soft. Once this mixture is a little cool add in almonds, coconut & grind them into a smooth paste in a blender/mixie. In the microwave half cook the vegetables & set aside. Now Again in the same kadai / pan add in the ground paste, turmeric, coriander powder & boiled vegetables. Add 1.2 cup of water, salt close lid & cook this for about 3 to 5 mins or until done. Finally add in the fresh chenna & give a slow mix. Yummy kurma is ready.

Note:

Since I want my son also to eat this, I dint add in  more chilis. However you can add more chilis if you like it spicy.
