ABOUT Bangalore special - Khuska Khurma RECIPE

Khuska Khurma - (KK as we fondly call at home). Khuska is rice dish that's usually made with Seeraga Samba Rice (short grain rice with sweet aromatic flavour, a variety of rice that's famous in South India), cooked with whole spices and mint leaves. Here in Melbourne i haven't been lucky to get the right seeraga samba rice hence replaced with long grain Basmati rice. Khurma is a tomato and coconut milk based gravy with lamb curry size pieces and potato wedges. When cooked with right spices and method this gravy is absolutely delicious. When it gets bit old we enjoy the next meal with layered parathas.
