Aloo  Kurma is a very yummy and easy side dish for chapati, poori or rice.

You can prepare this curry in no time. Kurma is made with yogurt, cashews, coconut, and spices.

In this curry, the potatoes are simmered in the onion and tomato along with the spices and the final touch of yogurt and paste of coconut, cashews, chana dal, and urad dal makes it creamy and flavorful. When poori is eaten with Aloo Kurma, that will be the best combination.
