Pressure cook or steam the vegetables until they are cooked well. Set aside.
In a heated pan, add oil and cumin seeds. After the cumin seeds crackle add in the chopped onions. Sauté until they are golden brown. Add in the turmeric, ginger-garlic-green chili paste and stir for a few seconds.
Make a powder of all the ingredients under Masala Powder.
In a mixing bowl, add the powder from the previous step and add a few tablespoons of water. Make a thick paste making sure there are no lumps.
Transfer the paste into the simmering onion mixture and let it cook until the oil oozes out.
Add in the steamed vegetables, salt, red chili powder and mix well.
Lastly add the coconut milk , mix well and let it come to a gentle boil. Remove from heat, garnish with chopped coriander leaves and cover.
Nothing like a vegetable loaded kurma to make any meal delish.
Love the addition of coconut milk and this combination is super yummy.
