Easy Vegetable Kurma Recipe

With the rise of Indian stores, the abundance of spices and ready-made products has made cooking a breeze. Recently, I picked up a box of Mughlai spice mix and decided to whip up a Kurma curry. The recipe, conveniently printed on the box, allows for versatile vegetable options like potatoes, carrots, or beans.

The preparation is straightforward yet packed with flavor. Crispy fried shallots, crushed and added to the curry, lend a rich golden hue. Yogurt adds a creamy texture, while ghee imparts a nutty, caramelized depth. Prefer a milder taste? Simply adjust the chili levels to suit your palate.

 

I’ve named this recipe Easy Vegetable Kurma - a no-fuss way to savor bold and satisfying flavors.

Vegetarian Bayam Masak Lemak (Spinach Coconut Stew)

Isn’t it amazing how Ms. Nava can transform traditional Malay dishes into delicious vegetarian versions? While many Malay dishes traditionally include dried shrimp, anchovies, or eggs, like in masak lemak, there’s still plenty of room for vegetarian adaptations (VEGETARIAN ASAM PEDAS). The Malay community enjoys raw salads with sambal belacan, which I absolutely love too.
