Healthy Chicken Kurma ( No Coconut )
Advertisement
This is my version of healthy chicken kurma in which I have used only less quantity of boneless chicken and substituted coconut with melon seeds to get the richness of the gravy. The addition of capsicum along with tomatoes is to increase the flavor of the kurma and also, to include one veggie indirectly in our diet. This creamy and flavorful kurma goes well without any guilt with phulka, plain brown rice, Idly and Dosa.
