Potato Kurma is a flavourful tasty gravy made by cooking parboiled potatoes with coconut paste & tempered spices, onion & tomato mix. Potato Kurma is a simple and quick dish that goes well for rotis / phulkas / flavoured rice. How to cook Potato Kurma is posted in this recipe with step by step pictures.
Potato Kurma is a great side dish for Poori,Chapathi, Idli, Dosa etc.But amma usually makes kurma for lunch to pair it up with rice and reserve the leftover for dinner with chapathi/ dosa, so I’ve taken the same ritual too.I wanted to post this potato kurma recipe which amma makes , I made few modifications to her recipe and she was all praises for me when she tasted this kurma 🙂 Even the lil one who is not fond of kurma loved this with dosa.I used my Ultra pressure pan to make this kurma, easy quick and messfree too.
