Cauliflower is a favorite veggie for all of us at home. I made this simple kurma to be served with chapathi. I usually add coconut to my kurmas, but this time it was with out any coconut. The khus khus and cashews five it a rich creamy consistency. It may seem like a lot of steps involved, but it's easy though!
To make it more colorful, add any vegetables you have in hand.
Get Ready:
- 2 cups cauliflower florets
- 1 cup chopped red onions
- 1 large tomato chopped
- 1 tbsp chopped ginger
- 2 green chillies slit
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1 tsp red chilli powder
- 1 tsp Khus khus
- 1 tbsp cashews
- salt to taste
- 3 tsp olive oil.
Go:
- Soak cashew and khus khus in 2-3 tbsp of water for 20 mins.
- In a large pot, boil water. Add a pinch of salt, turmeric powder to the boiling water. add the cauliflower florets, cover the pot and turn the heat off.
- Drain the water after 10 mins and keep the cauliflower aside.
- In a pan, add 1 tsp oilve oil and sayte the onions till brown. add the ginger, green chilli, chopped tomatoes and saute till they are soft.
- Turn the heat off. Once cooled, grind the onion, tomatoes into a pulp. Set aside
- Grind the cashew khus khus with the soaked water into a fine paste.
- In the same pan that you fried the onions, add 2 tsp of oilve oil, add the pureed tomato, onion mixture.
- Add all the masala powders and fry till the oil separates out.
- Add the cauliflower, salt to taste, ground cashew khus khus paste and mix well.
- Add water to a desired consistency and let it come to a boil.
- If less spicy add some garam masala.
- Once it boils, cover and simmer for 5 mins. turn the heat off.
- garnish with cilantro and serve hot.
Enjoy :))
Yum-looking Kurma!!
ReplyDeleteI always use kajus for many of my gravies which call for cream or thick sauces ...it does do the trick while also lending its deliciously rich flavor! Khus Khus is a new one! never tried that.
