Vegetable Kurma

I made this dish with lots of gravy, so it would go well with poori as well as rice. I personally love it with white rice and yogurt. Recipe is as follows:

INGREDIENTS:

1. Mixed Veggies of your choice - 1 cup

2. Onion - 1 chopped fine

3. Grated coconut - 1/2 cup

4. Mint leaves - "

5. Coriander leaves - a handful

6. Cloves - 4

7. Cinnamon - about an inch

8. Garlic - 1 clove

9. Ginger - 1/2"

10. Green Chillis - 4

11. Saunf (perunjeerakam) - 1/2 tsp

12. Turmeric pd - 1/2 tsp

13. Oil - as reqd

14. Salt - as per taste

15. Water- 1/2 cup for the paste

METHOD:

1. Grind ingredients from 3 to 11 with some water (either fine or coarse paste, depending on how you like the consistency of the kurma).

2. Heat oil in a pressure cooker. Add the chopped onion alongwith the chopped veggies. Add turmeric powder and saute for 3 minutes.

3. Pour in the ground paste. Add salt and some water if you don't like the kurma to be too thick. Stir and cook for 1 to 2 whistles. Serve hot with pooris/ white rice/ jeera rice.
