Notes

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.
