Mixed Vegetable Kurma

I am always looking for a side-dish for chapathi/phulkas.Since we have chapathis for dinner on most days,I look for variety at least in the side-dish.Mostly I prepare dal or pulses based dishes or mixed vegetable curries.Of the lot,I like curries with mixed veggies.Even though we like the Mixed vegetable Kurma that I make for chapathis as well as for idiyappams,it uses coconut as a base which we are trying to avoid these days.

I came across this wonderful recipe in Lakshmi Nair’s cookbook(Again!)..;-).All her recipes are superhits,so you don’t have to double check anything.Just follow the recipe instructions step by step and you sure will come out with great results.Once again,a keeper recipe.Tasted great with chapathis and I have kept aside some for pairing with Appam(Paalappam).
