- Then add garlic let it slightly brown, then add onion and fry till golden brown. Then add tomatoes and fry till mushy.
- Keep cooking till raw smell of tomatoes leave. Then add red chili and coriander powders with little water and let it boil for few mins.
- Then add the coconut paste and let it boil(add water if consistency is thick).While oil separates, garnish with coriander leaves and switch off.
- Serve with idiyappam / idli or dosa.
Notes
- Make sure you sauté tomatoes till raw smell leaves.
- The original recipe called for more coconut(½ cup) but I reduced coconut and added more tomatoes instead.
- As per the original recipe, the color the kurma is light orange but since I added more tomatoes and also the variety of tomatoes I used was deep red I got a deep orange color kurma which I am really happy about as it is very appealing...Isnt it?!
- The spices should be subtle so don't add more than the mentioned amount.
