MIXED VEGETABLE KURMA

Mixed-vegetable-kurma-recipe

               This is a wonderful kurma I found in Prema’s Cook book blog!  I have made this so many time and now ended up in a modified recipe,which suits my family’s taste.. I usually make this kurma with chapathi but as Prema have mentioned this goes well with poori…Also tastes the best with Parotta..
