Kuruma is a gravy that goes well with rice or flat bread. It is usually made with coconut, but here onion and yogurt form the base. Potatoes and peas are a classic combo and you can add your choice of vegetables to the gravy. The spice level is pretty mild in this dish and we had it with pulao. Kuruma on the menu was reserved for special days when we were growing up 
. Off to the recipe.
