Egg & Peas Kurma

Green Peas Kurma, also known as Pattani Kurma, is a South Indian-style kurma gravy featuring green peas and potatoes. It is prepared by cooking them in a finely ground paste made with coconut, poppy seeds, cashews, and red chilies. The dish is enhanced with onions, spices, and herbs. It pairs exceptionally well with chapathi, parotta, poori, or steamed rice.
