    About Cauliflower Kurma

    Kurma is nothing but a simple curry made with cauliflower, onion, tomatoes. The vegetables is seasoned with spice powders, whole spices and coconut milk.

    I used cornstarch to give the kurma a slight thick consistency. You can enjoy this with roti, rice, or even pulao.

    FAQ

    Is korma actually Indian?

    The Mughlai cuisine of the Indian subcontinent is where korma first appeared. It dates to the 16th century and the Mughal incursions into the area, making it a typical Mughal dish.

    Cauliflower kurma is made from cauliflower, peas, coconut, nuts, spices, and herbs. This warming side dish, which is lightly spiced and flavorful, is absolutely delicious.

    Why cauliflower is called Gobi?

    The Mongol language's word for a barren desert is gobi, which Europeans corrupted into cobi. However, the majority of the land was covered in low grass, gravel, or scrub, giving rise to the general name "gobi," which in Mongolian means "stony desert."

      This is a great curry. I've made 2-3 times and I love it.

      Cardamom = Elachi/Elakki
      And
      Krambu = Cloves

      Hope you edit it. Thanks
