Thengai Paal Kurma Recipe by Archana’s Kitchen

To begin making the Thengai Paal Kurma Recipe, pressure cook the potatoes for two whistles and cut them into small cubes.

Steam the cauliflower florets and peas and keep them aside.

Heat ghee/oil in a kadai/wok and once the oil is hot add cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and bay leaf . Saute for a few seconds till the aromas are released. 

Once done add onion,chilies and cook until onions become transparent.

After the onions have become transparent add the cooked potatoes, cauliflower florets and peas.

Add salt and a cup of water. Once the water starts boiling, add thick coconut milk and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes.

Adjust coconut milk according to suit your taste. If the gravy is too watery you can mash a few pieces of potato in the gravy to make the gravy thicker. 

Once the gravy has reached the desired consistency turn off the heat and transfer the Thengai Paal Kurma  into a serving bowl and serve.
