About the recipe

This kurma goes well as a wonderful accompaniment be it with roti or rice. This recipe is a traditional Hyderabadi kurma recipe into which I have added ingredients like poppy seeds, coconut paste and beaten yoghurt to make it rich. I have also shared aloo ka paratha which can be served with this kurma.

This gravy goes well with biryani recipes too and any special rice recipes like veg pulao or any veg or non veg biryani and chapathi or paratha.

This kurma curry can also be prepared during occasions as a special delicacy and served with fried eggs and bagara rice.

                    We often make this special recipe with potato and I must say that this is one dish to be definitely tried and the end result is amazing. The recipe is simple and mostly made in Hyderabad city in south India.

  About Kurma

 In Hyderabad, any kurma recipes are seasoned with coriander and mint leaves and this recipe also has the same procedure where I have lastly added fresh herbs which give a fresh aroma to the korma and that is what makes us have this korma in a special way.

                       Without fresh herbs the dish is incomplete and my advice is to add those herbs to lift up the flavours of the korma.

             The kurma too can be made in a variety of ways and this post is one way of making it...however, there are several other ways that can be tried to make this delicious recipe using tomatoes and onion gravies too.

Notes

  • One can skip the adding of potatoes in the beginning and can lastly add boiled potato cubes to the cooked kurma masala which is a healthy option.
  • Also one can add whole spices at the beginning for a more spicy flavour.
  • Nutty ingredients like cashew nut paste too can be added into the masala aloo kurma curry while cooking the gravy.
  • Here the kurma is slightly thick and more water can be added if desired consistency is thin.
