Mixed Veg Kurma

It’s always good to have a lot of gravy based recipes in your cooking repertoire. They work really well with chapathis and rotis and they just bring your full menu together. Mixed Veg gravies like saagu or this mixed veg kurma, Karnataka style are delicious gravies.
Lip smacking mixed veg kurma has an aromatic coconut based masala blend with subtle spices. It’s creamy and has the goodness of all the veggies like beans, carrots and green peas. I also served the leftovers with whole wheat puris and kesar elaichi shrikhand!


You can adjust the spices as per your taste and make the mixed veg kurma as hot and spicy as you want. Personally though I feel it should be subtle and the aroma should come through. Try more gravies from FOI, Seemebadanekayi saagu, peas kurma etc. More mixed veg recipes from FOI.
