    Kurma or Korma is a popular dish from the Indian Sub Continent. We can prepare it from Meat or Vegetables or as a combination. It is like a thick stew.

      The kurma sounds really rich and delicious with ingredients like coconut and poppy seeds . We do not eat such curries for breakfast , but surely can eat it for lunch .

      I am a big fan of kurma and gobi matar seems like a great combination. The flavor of coconut and poppy seeds are amazing. Perfect for weeknight dinner.

      I have bookmarked this recipe. I usually tend to follow the north Indian style when making aloo gobhi. This kurma sounds very flavorful.
