I have been making Veg Kurma on the stovetop forever but I have realized that pressure cooking makes it a breeze . Chickpeas Vegetable korma is so easy to make thanks to pressure cooking. No baby sitting the curry while you are using your instant pot. Everything goes in one pot and within minutes this mix vegetable curry is ready.
Veg Kurma is made with veggies alone but I like to add some protein to my curry in form of beans like chickpeas, black beans or black eyed peas to make it more filling and getting our doze of protein . You may think adding beans is one extra step but believe me it’s totally worth it. Saying that you may totally skip adding chickpeas and keep it veggie centered . This will even cut down the cooking time.
There are many versions of Veg Korma . Some recipes use yogurt while others use coconut milk for the creaminess . This time it was coconut milk for me . What I like about this Kurma recipe is that you can use any desired veggies and adjust spices to your taste. Add more coconut milk if you like it rich and creamy or step back and just add a touch. I love how fragrant and flavorful this curry is and goes well with a side of roti, rice , quinoa , barley or your desired grain.
This recipe is split into two parts 1st- cooking chickpeas from scratch 2nd- Making actual Korma It is not advisable to cook both together as you will land up overcooking the veggies. I love to cook my beans from scratch by soaking them atleast 8-10 hours or overnight but when in hurry I just pop open a can . You may even skip chickpeas and just keep it all veggies.
Given below is the recipe details , substitutes and notes . If using Stove top pressure cooker . Cook on medium heat for 2 whistles . Let the cooker cool down before opening.
