TOMATO KURMA


Usually I prepare veg kurma or dal for paratha to accompany with.But this time i made kurma with onion and tomato alone.I can assure u for its taste.Its a mild flavoured kurma.But i felt this spice and flavouring is apt.It is so simple to make but taste simply superb.
INGREDIENTS

  • Tomato-5
  • Onion-3
  • Red chilly powder-1 tsp
  • Milk-1/2 cup


TO GRIND

  • Grated coconut-1 cup
  • Green chilly-2
  • Ginger-1 inch piece
  • Garlic-2 pods
  • Fennel/sombu-1 tsp
  • Roasted Bengal Gram-1 tblsp
  • Onion-1 small size
  • Tomato-1

TO TEMPER

  • Fennel-1/2 tsp
  • cloves-2
  • cinnamon-1 inch piece

METHOD
Grind the ingredients as mentioned in "TO GRIND" section.
Place a pan on the stove.Pour some oil into it.
When it becomes hot add the items mentioned in "TO TEMPER".
Add onion.Saute it.Dont saute it leaving it brown color.It will add bitter taste to the gravy.Instead u can add some water to it.
Cover it and cook.By this method it will become soft and also leaving sweetness to the gravy.
Then add tomatoes.Follow the same method.Dont make it mushy.let the tomatoes been seen as an individual one not a mashed tomatoes.
Add  the grinded paste .Mix it well.Add red chilly powder.Allow to cook till the raw smell leaves from the gravy.
Add milk.Dont add water.Milk adds richness to the gravy .Add sugar to enhance the taste.
Add lots and lots of fresh coriander leaves to it.Let it boil for few minutes.
Transfer to a serving bowl.

Serve it with Paratha,poori,any pulao or even with dosa,idly as u like.
