Cooking Method

Step 1) In a pan heat some oil, once the oil is hot add bay leaves, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and a tsp of fennel seeds (I love to add whole fennel seeds,You can also use fennel powder (use 1/2 tsp of fennel powder)
Then add chopped onions, salt and saute until the onions are golden.

Step 2) Then add some Ginger Garlic paste and mix it.After the raw smell of ginger garlic paste is gone add turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder and Chili powder (1 tbsp will be less spicy,you can adjust according to your spice preference).But the one which we get in the Hotel will be less spicy.

Step 3) Then add 2 chopped tomato and cook until the tomatoes turns soft. Followed by tomatoes add the vegetables of your choice (I have added Carrots, Cauliflower, Peas, Beans, Potatoes and Cauliflower).Add enough water and cook until the vegetables are 50 % done


Step 4) Meanwhile lets make a coconut base for the Veg Korma. In a blender add 1/2 cup of grated coconut, Roasted channa dal, poppy seeds, cashews and grind it to a smooth paste along with some water.
If you don't like the taste of coconut add 1 boiled and mashed potato to thicken the gravy.

Step 5) Ones the veggies are half done add the coconut paste, add salt if required and cook until the vegetables are 100 % cooked.

Step 6) Finally add chopped coriander leaves and turn off the heat.Coriander leaves gives good flavor and aroma to the veg Kuruma.
