    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.

    • In a pressure pan, heat oil – add the items listed under ‘to temper’ let it splutter.
    • Then add onion saute till it becomes transparent then add tomatoes and saute till mushy and raw smell leaves.
    • Then add red chilli,coriander and garam masala powders.Add potatoes and saute for 2mins until the masalas blend well.
    • Add required salt.

    Notes

    • Make sure raw smell of tomatoes leave, add potatoes only after that.
    • Let the kurma boil well after coconut paste is added else the raw smell will retain.
    • This kurma becomes thick with time, so adjust consistency accordingly.
    • First potatoes will look separate from the gravy once it boils it will blend well.
