    Korma / Kurma is a recipe that should be in your day to day life because it is a go to sidedish for chapati or any bread. You can make it with any veggies, starting from potatoes, cauliflower. peas, mixed veggies and the list goes endless. 

    I have quite a few kurma recipes in this blog namely Badami Vegetable Kurma, Peas Kurma, Vegetable Kurma, Soya Chunks Kurma, Mushroom Kurma, Cauliflower Kurma.

    These curries can be made in different varieties..I have madeso may variations of it in the above recipes. This method is quite different and you will love the end results. And the sweetness from the beets marries beautifully with the other stuffs. So give this a try and let me know how it turns out.
