Cauliflower And Carrot Kurma


Kurma is a rich and creamy South Indian curry made with a blend of vegetables, coconut, and aromatic spices. Cauliflower and Carrot Kurma is a popular variant that combines the crunchiness of cauliflower and the sweetness of carrots to create a delicious and nutritious dish. This kurma pairs wonderfully with rice, roti, or any Indian bread.

We make different types of kurma in our house. Each kurma is made in a different way. The taste of the kurma varies depending on the way it is cooked and the spices added.
