Notes

Notes:
✔I used frozen vegetables, so i just added a half a cup of water only because it doesn’t need to be cooked for a long time.
✔If using fresh veggies, add just the right amount of water needed for them to cook. Remember that the gravy has to be a little thick.
✔ The kurma thickens with time so switch off the heat accordingly.
✔ The frozen veggies which i used had corn in it. It tasted really good in the curry. So if you prefer you can add corn too.
✔ I made the coconut milk by mixing 5 tsp of coconut milk powder in 1/2 cup of warm water.
