This is my mom's recipe and my most most favorite kurma and i love it with soft idlis., the best combo. Most of the weekend, Saturday breakfast she makes idly with this kurma. So flavorful and tasty kurma, if u haven't tried kurma with idly please try this Potato Kurma/Aloo Kurma. I am sure u will love it, amny of my friends have tried this n send me the feedback, that they loved it to the core. This kurma even suits well with poori/chapathi also. The recipe as follows...

This is an excellent combination for Idly and dosa..
Notes:
Use only green chili for this Kurma.
Adding dalia is optional but it gives nice consistency if ur coconut is doesn't blend well.
Instead of dalia/pottu kadalai u can also use cashew nuts.

ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try this. My love of cooking comes from my Grandmother, although I have chosen more complex and flavorful foods. I can remember her home cooking and the wonderful smells. Looking at this recipe, I can say, without hesitation, that Grandma would approve! Thank you.
