Parotta stall-style Vegetable Kurma Recipe, a simple kurma made with coconut, onion, and cashew mixture. The gravy is the replica of kurma, which we had from our nearby street-side fast food stall. It is an excellent dish to be paired up with Roti / Parotta / Idiyappam / Appam.

Chennai streets are filled with numerous fast food stalls. You can find one for every 4-5 shops in a row. They range from very tiny to big restaurant's size. The cooks occupy the frontage of the eatery, cooking in high-flamed hot stoves. Not to find much room for sitting and having food. Takeaway for dining, is probably everyone's choice.

The stalls attract the crowd with super-flavored food. This gravy is highly aromatic, which stays in the fingers even after washing them. The only important tip for this recipe is to remove the gravy from the heat only after thoroughly cooking the coriander powder.
