Vegetables white kurma/ white kurma recipe

Vegetable white kurma recipe with step by step pictures 

                 Usually vegetable kurma is made with many spice powders and it is very colourful and appealing.  I always made vegetable kurma with spice powders.  But,  when i went to a restaurant,  they serve this white kurma as a sidedish for poori.  It is not appealing as it is white and plain.  But I tasted it,  i just love this creamy white kurma. I thought of making it in my home and made it. In this recipe,  i have used potato, carrot and fresh peas.  You can add other vegetables like beans, cauliflower. Give it a try,  you just love it.
