Prajju, this is archana. My husband does not like the taste of coconut, can I substitute it with milk and cream? will it work?
ReplyDeleteHi Archana,, well, you can make a gravy with milk/malai/cream, but it wont give you the same taste. the aroma for the kurma comes from coconut paste that you make.
ReplyDeletetry this, for a gravy - fry the same amount of ginger/garlic/chilli mentioned above with 1tbsp ghee, add a handfull of cashews, let it turn golden. add tomatoes, let oil separate. (make sure u dont add tomato again while making gravy.) remove, let it cool. make paste. use this instead of kurma. this wont give you Kurma, but surely a wonderful gravy to go with Paneer Kofta or any veggies.
Thanks!! Will try this weekend and let you know the outcome :)
