Tamil Spread
Among the Thali’s I served for Buffet on the Table, Tamil Spread had maximum dishes and they fit so well with our theme of curries and side dishes this month. So here is a Potato Kurma ! I could call this an award winning recipe as everyone loved it.
Kurma or Korma is a vegetable curry which can be either curd based or tomato based. I had only heard on Navratan Korma ,and the Vegetable Qorma that I made for the alphabet “Q” while we did Cooking with Alphabets. When I had to make my Tamil Spread Valli suggested a Yam Kurma. I am not a yam person, in fact no one really cares for it so wanted to play safe. Potatoes are always the safest, so I decided on Potato Kurma, and I am glad I did . This is on our daily menu now.

2 tomatoes, medium, finely chopped

Potato kurma is very flavorful.I love potatoes in any form and this sounds prefect for me.
I thought I already commented. anyway, you can't go wrong with potatoes. Kurma looks flavorful and a nice side dish with either rice or roti.
