Vegetable White Khurma
Vegetable white gravy??? I know your mind must have thought what does that mean??? well its called this way because there is no Garam masala or any red chilly or dhania powder in this recipe even the main ingredient ginger is not present in this and yet they taste amazing. This dish goes best with "PAROOTA". I am sure lot of them must have tasted this gravy on famous road side parotta shop. The min you make it at home and taste it your taste bud will realize that you have already tasted it somewhere and you actually had loved it long before. It's perfect gravy for "KOTHU PARATTA" too.
I love to eat this with chapathi or poori sometimes and everyone loves it at my place. Its quick to make and it taste very good. Try this out and let me know how you liked it.
