Aloo Kurma Recipe  which is usually known as potato kurma is a gravy kind of  aloo curry and is similar to other kurma recipes like veg kurma, egg kurma , mutton korma , chicken kurma etc which are all rich in making and this particular recipe is made of diced aloo pieces and some nutty ingredients.

Do check out some more aloo recipes with aloo as the key ingredient:

aloo fry , aloo pakoda , aloo poha recipe, aloo sabzi, aloo jeera, aloo methi, samosa punjabi , aloo matar,aloo palak, aloo curry

                           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 yogurt to make it rich. I have also shared aloo ka paratha which can be served with this potato 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.

               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 flavors of the korma.

                Aloo kurma too can be made in 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.

2.Also one can add whole spices in the beginning for more spicy flavor.
3.Nutty ingredients like cashewnut paste too can be added into the masala aloo kurma curry while cooking the gravy.
4.Here the kurma is slightly thick and more water can be added if desired consistency is thin.
