Cauliflower peas kurma recipe, Cauliflower pattani kurma Easy kurma recipe with cauliflower and peas. Kurma recipe with full video and step-by-step pictures.
Chapati and kurma are a popular combo in South Indian homes. In many houses, they make different varieties of kurma with a different combo of vegetables. I have posted many kurma recipes in Jeyashri’s kitchen. This one is a classic one with a combo of cauliflower and peas.
Apart from chapati, you can pair this with poori, parotta, kuska, and dosai too. This is a gluten-free, vegan recipe. The North Indian version of Korma is a different one, it is adapted from the Mughal cuisine. They add cream to make it richer. In the South Indian kurma, we add coconut and fennel seeds.

I know this is an old post but, I don't know if you noticed but, you have written in the beginning, 'Me and my hubby are not a great fan of kids and my daughter too'. You are not a great fan of kids or cauliflower? Just a small clarification.
Hahaha harini, Changed it now. Of course it kurma only not kids for sure. Our life revolves around them.
