Tomato Kurma (Thakkali Kuruma)
Friday, May 1, 2009
Tomato kurma is one of South Indians' favourite side dish. Here goes my version of it:
Ingredients:
Large onion - 1
Tomato (Roma) - 4Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Oil - 4 tbspGrated coconut - 1 cup
Kuskus - 1 tbspRoasted split channa (pottu kadalai) - 2 tsp
SaltCurry leaves - one spring
To grind:
Ginger - 1 small piece
Garlic - 3 podsGreen chillies - 2 (adjust according to your taste)
Cinnamon - 1Clove -1
Fennel seeds - 1/4 tspCilantro - 2 tsp
Direction:
1. Chop onion and tomato finely. Grind the ingredients given under 'to grind' and keep separately. Also grind roasted split channa, coconut and kuskus and keep aside.
3. Add the ground mix (ginger, garlic, etc) and fry till the raw flavour has left. Then add tomatoes with salt and cook till the tomatoes are completely done. (Takes about 20 minutes).
5. Tomato kurma can be served with roti/idli/dosa.

nice recipe Priya. I used to live in Madurai a long time back and LOVED Saurashtrian food. Have been trying desperately for the recipe for rasam they used to make, very dark brown with a whole stem of curry leaves thrown it. It was a clear rasam made with freshly made rasam podi. Would you have it please?Saira
