    Ingredients

    • 1 big flower cauliflower
    • 1/4 cup green peas
    • 1/2 onion cut lengthwise
    • 1/2 medium sized tomatoes cubed
    • 1/2 tsp chilli powder
    • a generous pinch turmeric powder
    • 1 tbsp coriander leaves chopped finely
    • 2 tbsp oil
    • salt to taste

    Grind to a paste:

    • 1/4 cup coconut
    • 1 tsp fennel
    • 5 cashew
    • 1 onion
    • 1 to mato
    • 1 tbsp gram dal
    • 4 garlic flakes
    • 2 green chillies
    • 1/2 inch piece cinnamon
    • 1 cloves

    Instructions

    • Grind all the ingredients under ‘to grind’ with little water to a smooth paste and keep aside.
    • Chop cauliflower into small florets and pressure cook it along with peas with salt and turmeric powder only till half done.
    • Heat oil in a pan, add onions fry till golden brown then add tomatoes fry until raw smell leaves.
    • Add chilli, turmeric powder and mix well.
    • Now add the ground paste and fry till raw smell leaves and oil separates.
    • Add 1/4 water (adjust according to thickness) and allow it boil for 5mins.
    • Now add cauliflower and peas, mix well.
    • Add water if required and allow the kurma to boil 3-5 mins.
    • Garnish with coriander leaves and switch off.
    • Cauliflower Peas Kurma ready!

    Notes

    • While cooking/pressure cooking cauliflower and peas, make sure its only half cooked else it will turn mushy while it gets boiled with the kurma.
    • The quantity of gravy is more in this method, so you can also use it as a side dish for rice.
    • The same method can be used for making vegetable kurma also.
    • You can make the consistency a bit watery if you are serving it for rice.
    • I used fresh cauliflower and peas, you can alternatively use frozen ones too.

    Cauliflower Peas Kurma Recipe
    Pin

    I love kurmas with dosas, rice and chapatis…So if I make this for lunch I make the quantity a bit more to be enough for dinner too. Attimes , the lazy me preplans for dinner too.
    This is easy with just grinding without sauting and comes in handy for lunch. Ammas version of vegetable kurma is a bit lengthy process with sauting and grinding but still it has an unique taste. So I use the above recipe for cauliflower peas kurma and ammas recipe for veg kurma.
