Potato Kurma

This potato kurma with soya chunks goes great with rice or chapatis/nans.

Recipe:

3 to 4 potatoes peeled and cut into cubes
4 juicy tomatoes and 1 onion cut into small pieces
Half cup peas
1 tsp of ginger,garlic,cilantro paste,
2 tsp coconut powder (fresh or dried)
1 tsp each of red chilli powder, salt and turmeric
popu or tadka ingredients (read the preparation)

I also added protein rich soya chunks (the white round ones in the photo below) to this carbo rich curry.

Potato Kurma Ingredients

Add 1 tsp of oil to a hot pan, saute 1 tsp of each cumin, mustard seeds(popu or tadka), when they start to splutter, add garlic ginger cilantro paste, sauté it, and then add onions, tomatoes and peas.

First step Final step

Once the tomatoes are well cooked and juicy, add potatoes, soya chunks, salt, red chilli powder, coconut powder, turmeric and little bit of water. Cook them covered, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender, for about 10 to 15 mts, on medium flame.

Potato Kurma with Chapatis

Chapati and potato kurma, yum…. this is good eating. How many times I prepare and eat this curry, the taste never gets boring.

  2. Priya, your version sounds good too. You can buy unsweetened coconut powder or whole coconut in an Indian grocery shop.I use it in all types of curries(Dry or gravy)because it gives a sweet, nutty taste to the curries and also because of its nutritional values. Try it and let me know. Thanks.

  3. Hi Indira, I tried your recipe yesterday and it came out yummy! Thank you!

    I did not have Soya chunks though, I used some hot peppers for a spicy tinge to the curry…

    Indira says

    Hello Ladyinred, I am glad it turned out good. The combination of potatoes and hot peppers, It must be spicy wonderful. I like your version!

  4. Hi Indira,

    Im going to try this today. It sounds yummy. I was wondering if you know of any veg kurma recipes that are creamy – dont some recipes call for the addition of milk/yogurt or cream? Just curious of you knew of any.

    Thanks

    Indira says…
    Hi Radha, I rarely prepare milk/yogurt based creamy sauces. Only when I invite friends over or for parties. The milk avialble here is full of extra hormones and chemicals, so I use it sparingly or only when I am feeling extra indulgent. Thanks!

  5. hi,
    i tried this one.its very nice.

    Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it.

  6. can you use other nut powders, milk powder or coconut milk instead of using the coconut powder?

    Indira replies:
    Nut powders, like cashew, almonds, pistachios… yes. But milk powder, I’m not sure about that so no.
    Nuts and coconuts already have enough fat content, so we don’t have to add extra ghee or butter to cook them in sugar syrup.

  7. Hey indra,
    A newbie question-Just wanted to know which is more nutritious-dry coconut powder available in indian grocery stores or fresh coconut that I grate.
    Can i substitute fresh coconut in most of your recipies and still be ok?thanks,

    Indira replies:
    I prefer fresh grated coconut. Even with less amount, it brings not only more flavor also I think more nutritious than the dried one.

    I feel very glade to see this kurma with soya chunks. I will try this today. I read the comments here, you wrote that,the milk available here is full of extra harmones and chemicals. May i know it clearly. Is there any problem if the milk usage is more in my kitchen.
    Thankyou,
    Madhuri.

    Hello Madhuri,

  25. Hi,

    Comment by sundari — September 21, 2008 @ 6:37 am

  26. you know Indira, to me a kurma or korma is anything in a white sauce. That is the how it is in North India. But in southern states a kurma is tomato based. I strongly believe that no matter where the food comes from or in whichever way it is cooked, as long as it is good, it is worth it. Your recipe reminds me of how my mom cooks potato and nutri nuggets.

    Good work!

  30. hello: Back in 1979 and 1981, I used to eat puri – koorma at Kamath Hotel near Nampally station, Hyderabad. The taste was unique, and again I ate similarly tasting kurma in New Jersey-Saravana Bhavan. They guy refused to reveal the recipe. I am a veteran cook of traditional vaidiki preparations. Any help with this particular recipe is well appreciated.

    thanks,

  31. Indira, for Potato Korma I’ve added tofu to my New Year’s Day shopping list. Thanks for this one! Best Wishes, ~nyginko

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Comment by nyginko — January 2, 2011 @ 12:53 pm

  32. Indira, question, please? Are the “soya chunks” and tofu one and the same? I don’t recall seeing “soya chunks” at the markets, although I do recall having seen something like reconstituted vegan proteins (RVP.) ~ nyginko

    Hello nyginko: Soya chunks are dried soymash and they are available in Indian grocery shops under Nutrela brand. Check out this link for soy chunks.
    You could also add RVP to this curry.
