Tomato Kurma Recipe / Thakkali Kurma Recipe with stepwise pics and a short YouTube video. This is a simple Korma, that does not require a long list of ingredients or laborious chopping work or even roasting part. Just, done with onion and tomatoes with some other few condiments that will be always available in our kitchen pantry. I suggest using country/ Nattu Tomatoes, which lends a nice sour taste and more juiciness to the gravy. Please, don’t underestimate the taste of this korma, by just glancing at the ingredients, it tastes super yummy with Poori, Chapati and even Idli, Dosa too. Also, if you like my video, please share it and don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE to my channel. Furthermore, if interested check my other Veg Korma, White Kurma recipes along with my 100+ Lockdown Recipes.

Notes

Tips for Thakkali Kurma Recipe

  1. Use red, juicy, ripe tomatoes for a bright coloured and tasty Tomato Kurma Recipe.
  2. I used country (Nattu/Natti) tomatoes which work well for this recipe, as it gives a nice sour taste. 
  3. Tomato can be even pureed and used, instead of chopping.
  4.  Don't add extra spices in Tempering, as the Kurma smell different.
  5. Garlic flakes can be replaced with 1 small piece of ginger. But, I prefer the garlicky flavour, which pairs best with tomatoes.
  6. I used both green chilli and red chilli powder for spiciness. You can use either one or even grind the ground chilli with coconut.
  7. Adjust green chilli or chilli powder as per spice level required for you.
  8. Don't add fried gram more than mentioned, else the kurma taste bland. But, don't skip as it lends a creamy texture to the korma.
  9. Addition of poppy seeds is optional, it gives a nice nutty flavour but if added more, the kurma tastes bitter.
