Easy Vegetable kurma

Ingredients

Cauliflower 1 small        peas 1 small cup       onion 2 big       cashew nuts 10

Poppy seeds/ kaskas 1 tbsp          ginger-garlic paste 1 tbsp       cumin/ jeera 1 tsp

Green chilies 4-6 or to taste       salt to taste        oil 2 tsp     1 potato 

coriander leaves little

Method

1) wash & cut cauliflower into small florets & blanch & keep aside

2) in pan add onion sliced long, boil it with 1/2 cup water for about 5 minutes, last 1 minute add cashew nuts, cover & keep it aside to cool.

3) roast kaskas/ poppy seeds & add to cooked onion as once cooled grind all together to a smooth paste.

4) in a heavy pan, add oil, once hot, add cumin/ jeera, as it crackles,  add chilies cut fine, ginger-garlic paste, saute well, add about a tbsp of water, let it simmer.

5) now after about 2-3 minutes, add peas, cauliflower &  potatoes chopped fine, add enough water to cook them along with salt to taste.

6) as it is getting cooked, add the ground paste, mix well, let it boil & cook till the vegetables are done. Or you may use also boiled & peeled potato, chopped fine later, once peas & cauliflower are done.

7) remove, garnish with fresh coriander leaves.

8) serve it hot with bread, roti, puri, paranthas or pulao.

ps- this is my easy way of making kurma. You may use other vegetables of your choice too, like carrots, broccoli, broad beans etc.Unlike the normal gravy, which is red, this gravy will be white. Those who aren't calorie conscious, may use some cream last.
