As simple south Indian curry in which vegetables are cooked in coconut sauce and best goes with chapathi, poori, idly, dosa. There is another version similar to this recipe which is Kerala style vegetable stew for appam which is slightly different from the Tamilnadu style white kurma recipe.

Kurma or Korma, however, you call it as very basic dish found in any Tamilnadu hotels. There is another version of spicy kurma which is also found everywhere these days. I have made it with a dosage of pepper and is a very good option during winter. The recipe for pepper vegetable kurma is equally good and my favorite as well.

Because of its lesser spiciness, kids will love this dish and it is healthy as we have included all the essential vegetables in it. There are few other kurma recipes like brocolli kurma, cabbage kurma, which are simple and basic recipes to plan especially for kids. Medium spicy and healthy curries.
