Vegetable Korma

Ingredients:

  • Mixed veggies – 2 cups (diced and boiled) (Beans, Carrot, Cauliflower, potatoes, peas)
  • Onions – 1 big (sliced)
  • Tomatoes – 1 medium (diced)
  • Green Chillies – 2
  • Ginger – 1/2 inch chopped
  • Coconut grated – 1/4 cup
  • Turmeric powder – 1/2 tsp
  • Coriander powder – 1/2 tsp
  • Cumin seed powder – 1/2 tsp (optional)
  • Saunf – 1 tsp
  • Garam masala items – 1 tsp (cloves – 1, cinnamon stick – 1, bay leaf – 1)
  • Salt – to taste
  • Oil
  • Coriander leaves(Cilantro)

Method:

Grind the ginger, saunf, green chillies, tomatoes with half the onions (with little water) and set aside. Grind the grated coconut with some water and set aside.? In a pan, heat oil and add the garam masala items and then add the rest of the onions. Saute the onions for a while. To this, add the boiled veggies, turmeric, coriander, cumin powder. Bring to a boil after adding a little water. Finally, stir in the coconut paste with some water and bring to a boil. Add the coriander leaves for garnish.

Note that you can make a variation of this korma without the coconut paste also. Another richer flavorful variation would be to add cashew paste (soak cashews in water and grind to a paste) along with coconut paste.
