Capsicum Kurma (Korma) Recipe

Capsicum Kurma, also known as korma, is a popular Indian gravy made with a mixture of spices, nuts and coconut. Kurma recipe is so versatile that you can make it with any vegetable or meat of your choice. Today I have shared the kurma recipe with only capsicum as the main ingredient with a peanut based gravy. It can be made in less than 20 minutes. It is a quick and easy side dish that goes very well with roti, naan, chapathi, dosai and any pulav variety.
