MIXED VEGETABLES KURMA IN COCONUT MILK

Yum
Hi friends, really we (me and mom) having confusion with what to cook for Breakfast, lunch and dinner. I will suggest some recipes, but my mom not interested in it, if she says something I won’t interest :P coz, she always love to cook and eat traditional South Indian foods, but I would like to taste other regional foods too, as I wish to try those in home. Sometimes I will prepare fo my choices for me and brother. I will try different ways of kurma each time. I tried this kurma for rice. 



Today I post mixed vegetable kurma with coconut milk and dash of tamarind extracts which give unique taste and flavor to the kurma. We all love this kurma a lot. Very healthy combinations and delicious taste with chapathi and rice but my favorite combo of the kurma is Idli… Idli will absorb the kurma so it will be very juicy and flavorful.
