Any South Indian would love to try a recipe if its titled as “Saravana Bhavan Hotel Style”. I am no exception to this. I have tasted Saravana Bhavan hotel vegetable kurma for parotta in Chennai before marriage. I love try all the recipes of it that I come across in my fellow bloggers blog.
Recently I saw this Saravana bhavan hotel style mixed vegetable kurma recipe for parotta and chapathi in Amudha’s blog. I tried it for Sendhil’s lunch box to pack with roti by following an easy one pot method. It smelt and tasted very similar to most of the hotel style vegetable kurma. I loved it very much. I packed this kurma and soft Chapathi for his lunch box & I had it with some store bought frozen parotta for my breakfast. It tasted great for both. So you can make this kuruma as a side dish for roti and parotta as well. If you don’t have all the vegetables in hand, just try adding potato, peas and make it as potato kurma. Kids would love this combo.
Try this recipe and don’t forget to smell your hands after you finish eating this kurma. It would be awesome !! Ok, lets see how to make this most popular, super flavorful Saravana Bhavan Hotel Style mixed vegetable kurma with video and step by step photos and video.
Wash and chop the vegetables finely. Chop the onion and tomato. Grind all the ingredients given under “To grind” to a smooth paste adding enough water.
Heat a pressure cooker base and add oil + ghee. Saute the bayleaf and black stone flower/Kalpasi. Add cumin seeds,onions , gg paste and saute till it turns transparent and raw smell goes off. Add mint leaves. Then add the tomato pieces and saute until mushy. Add the ground coconut paste, turmeric powder, red chilli powder and Garam masala powder. Add the required salt and saute well till the raw smell of masala vanishes. Do in medium flame.
Lastly add the finely chopped vegetables and peas. Mix well and add a 1.5 cups of water. Mix well and add curd. Mix well and pressure cook in low flame for just one whistle. Sarvana bhavan style mixed vegetable kurma is ready to serve !!
Enjoy with chapathi or parota. It tasted great with dosa too!
NB: As per the actual recipe, vegetables has to be cooked before adding the masala. But I made everything in one shot. Still the taste was great.
Note
Grinding part is the highlight of this kurma. So please don’t omit any ingredient from it. No worries if you don’t add khus khus. But the remaining are must.
I did not add mint leaves as I din’t have it. Don’t forget to add it if you have them. It adds a nice flavor to this kurma.
Adjust the quantity of chillies and red chilli powder based on your taste.
I used fresh green peas here. If you are using dried peas, soak it overnight in required water.
Some hotel kurma recipes called for using water + milk in equal ratio. But I never use milk as I don’t want to mix curd & milk together. So you can try this for variations if you like.
Try this yummy Mixed vegetable kurma for roti/Parota. Take the credits from your family members and enjoy !!
I tried this recipe yesterday and it came out so well!!This is a great recipe and thanks for sharing..i also tried french fries and it came out perfect..thanks for detailed notes which you write
Hiii Chitra… Today morning I have made this Kuruma… Came out really well.. My little girl usually doesn't like the Kuruma… But she finished her chapathi with the kuruma and ate one more… �� ��. She told me that even it smells good…. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
"Zero error recipe". Usually for new recipes I reduce the ingredients quantity by half and then prepare the dish. But I was sure when I saw this recipe and made with double quantity and the result is I am not wrong. Excellent recipe!
Hi Chitra,
Thank u so much for sharing the recipe.. My hubby was totally happy with my preparation for this kurma.. So I am very happy.. Thanks once again for uR posts.. I m trying one by one..
Whenever i prepare this dish, everybody would love it so much and they would nevet forget to applaud me for this.
Can i use blanched almonds instead of cashews ???? Will the flavour be the same ?
Thanks a lot for the feedback Archana.I am glad to know this.You can use blanched almonds as the quantity is negligible.It doesn't make any difference 🙂 So go ahead.
Thank you so much for the recipe.. Kurma turned out great.. I jus added a few drops of lemon juice befor serving.. Helped to bring in a lil tanginess.. Lovely recipe with correct proportions.. Durga.
Hi, tried this recipe today 🙂 . It came out yummy. Bt I missed star anise ,mint n khus khus. Bt yet the look was superb. But still I feel home made differ frm hotel made kurma.. thanks a lot for the awesome recipe 🙂
Hi Chitra,
I have tried this three times in last two weeks..Today also..yummy delicious tasty recipe.cameout well.My family loved it.Thanks alot.
Actually I have tried vegetable kurma referring other site.But it didn't come well..Your method is easy one and not a time consuming too..Now I am checking your other recipes too 🙂
I too never use milk in this recipe. But I have mentioned it just for variation as some people prefer it. You can use only water & curd in this recipe. It will turn out well.
Hi, thank you. 4 times masala may not be needed. You can reduce the quantity of spices as per taste. You can try tripling the quantity. After adding masala to the cooker, mix well and check for taste. Add more spices if needed. Hopw this helps. Please update your feedback too
Sure will do! Thanks for your reply. What would be the best side for it to make a complete meal. Your spicy pulav which I am going to try too or poori?👍🙏
This kurma goes well for both. If you have plans to make any one, I would suggest poori as spicy pulao needs onion raitha only. Kurma would be an additional fitting 😊
Hi Chitra, I tried this kurma today, it came out very well , my family and my friend's family loved it a lot, thank you so much for sharing this recipe.
