There are times that call for Quick Dishes. And one must plan in such a way to present the same dish in a different way. This is what I have learnt when it was time for quick dishes to make, with the same ingredients and yet please the folks to assume its a new one.
The times when one gets back home after work, is hardly ever the time for elaborate meals. Ours is mostly roti subzi and the vegetables keep changing depending on the season. While I do prefer a quick one pot meal for such dinners, there aren't that many, that will interest my kids as well. So its a korma with rotis, the kurma not so rich, mild and soothing, yet delicious.
This was one such korma that came upon and that which I have been making for many years. A simplest version of what a kurma is. Though I have been making a sort of this dish many times, I never bothered to click pictures. Then I decided to share this when couple of my friends were asking for simple dish to make. I thought it would help some anyway.
