Aachi Mess Vegetable White Kurma

Aachi Mess is our favourite regular visit for dinner. They serve Homely food. There are many special recipes but still my favourite is this veg kurma especially with Appam. I will prepare this recipe for Coconut Rice Recipe, Dosas, Appam and Rotis too. This Vegetable white kurma does not require any special spices but still it retains the good taste.

• Grated Coconut - 1 cup
• Big Onion - 1/2 medium size
