1.You can add 2 tbsp of grated coconut or handful of cashew nuts to the onion and tomato mixture and blend.This will give unique taste.

and roast it.
3.Cream can be added in the last to give rich taste and texture to the kurma.
Tips:
1.When the kurma becomes very spicy, i add milk to make the taste medium spice.I learnt this from my mother in law.She has a lot of good ideas for
instant makeover of the dishes.
2.If you have left over kurma,don't worry.Mix the left over vegetale kurma with enough wheat flour to knead the dough.Make as a roti for the next day
