Once when I was cleaning my fridge before going for a vacation, I had a very little paneer and sprouts. So to finish off both, I tried this kuruma and it was very tasty. From that, I started making it once in a while and I thought of sharing this simple recipe here as well. It goes very well with Roti/Paratha. I have already posted the homemade paneer and how to sprout green gram at home. Let's move to the recipe.
Ingredients:Greengram Sprouts - 3/4 Cup
Paneer - 150 grams
Onion - 1(big)
Tomato - 2(small)
Ginger Garlic paste - 1.5 tsp
Chilli Powder - 2 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
Coriander Powder - 1 tsp
Salt - as required
Coriander leaves - few(chopped finely)
To Grind:
Grated Coconut - 1/4 Cup
Fennel Seeds(Sombu) - 1.5 tsp
To Temper:
Oil - 2 tsp
Cinnamon stick - 1 piece
Cloves - 2
Cardamom - 4
Bay leaf - 1
Method:
1. Grind the items under 'To Grind' to a smooth paste by adding a little water. Chop the onion and tomato finely. Cube the paneer into pieces and roast it in a tsp of oil for 2 to 3 minutes.
2. In a pan, temper the items mentioned under 'To Temper'. Then add the chopped onions and saute until it turns transparent. Then add the ginger garlic paste and the chopped tomato.
3. When the tomato turns mushy, reduce the flame to low. Now, add the chilli powder, turmeric powder and coriander powder. Mix it all together and saute it for a minute. Then add 1 cup of water and bring everything to a rolling boil. Add the ground coconut paste and adjust the consistency of water for the kuruma. Allow the coconut masala to cook for another 5 minutes.
