Notes

  • Adjust spice level according to your taste.This is mildy spicy suitable for kids too.
  • Make sure soya chunks is cooked soft else it will not blend well with kurma well.
  • Do not skip cashews it adds richness and thickness to the kurma.
  • If you skip cashews the taste might differ. In that case add more of fried gram dal itself if you are looking for a diet friendly kurma.
  • Adjust consistency according to your liking.If you like your kurma to be thin add little more water while boiling.
