Tomato Kurma/ Thakkali Kurma
Tomato kurma or Thakkali korma is very easy to make and doesn't require too many ingredients. When ever I am out of vegetable I always opt for this one. First reason its very tasty ,second its quick to make and gives you full satisfaction. Goes well with chapathi and poori. It taste good next day too. I sometime serve this with dosa & Idiyappam too. This kurma is served in restaurants with poratta. They add more mint leaves to get a strong flavor.
