A very popular recipe from the land of Nilgiris. The main uniqueness is the rich green color and flavor from Coriander and mint leaves. Thinking of Nilgiris reminds off the green leaves in that beautiful place. The same way, this veg kurma is also enriched with the rich flavour of coriander and mint leaves along with conventional spices. I first tasted this awesome dish in one of the Indian Restaurants “Malgudi” and it was so nice to taste with Naan. When I checked the ingredients in their menu card, I saw this kurma is enriched with mint and coriander leaves. Tried this yummy Nilgiris Vegetable Kurma immediately at home and got nice appreciations from my family :-).

What is Kurma?

Kurma, a thick gravy made with vegetables in a creamy coconut-nut based sauce. In South we refer as “Kurma” NorthIndians call it as “Korma”. Kurma is usually served with Roti/Naan or other Indian Flat Breads. Usually for Vegetable kurma we use coriander leaves for garnishing. But in this Nilgiris kurma, we are enhancing the conventional kurma with a paste made of mint and coriander leaves which gives the kurma a unique flavor.

Tips for making Nilgiris Veg Kurma:

  1. We can use Coconut milk instead of grinding coconut.
  2. Poppy seeds are optional. We can increase the quantity of coconut instead of using poppy seeds.
  3. We can exclude tomato and add 1/4 cup of curd instead. But use fresh curd and not very sour curd.
  4. We can cook this kurma in a pan without cooker also. But add the cashew paste after the veggies are cooked completely.
  5. Adjust the spices according to your needs.
