Authentic and Delicious White Kurma Recipe | Easy White Veg Kurma | Gomathi Kitchen

White kurma recipe | white veg kurma | vellai kurma with detailed photo and video recipe. A popular and creamy variation to the south Indian based kuruma made with a potato and coconut. This is made without coriander and red chilli hence it gets the white colour to the gravy. It tastes amazing when served with chapati, roti, string hopper, or any flavoured rice. This is a mildly spiced korma prepared with green chilli, potatoes simmered in a creamy coconut paste along with cashews, fried gram which gives white colour to the kurma. I have tasted this white Korma in every hotel in Tamilnadu, so many times, they serve it with chapati, parotta and sometimes withpoori too. My elder daughter also asks like, “Amma prepare hotel white kurma”. In previous days I prepare kurma with garam masala powder and grind coriander leaves with coconut paste so it gives mild greenish kuruma. But nowadays my kids both like white kuruma so I skip to grind coriander leaves. Our motive is making them to enjoy the food, so I always go with their choice. We can improvise the nutrients by adding chopped carrots, beans and peas. Here I used only potatoes. We can prepare without veggies also. we can do many variations each gives different taste. Here I grind coconut without any whole garam masala, to make restaurant style veg kurma we have to prepare a ground coconut masala with Coconut, Poppy seeds, green chili, Cashews, Fried gram dal (pottukadalai), cinnamon, cloves and fennel.
