This is a Nita Mehta's recipe from her Microwave Cooking book. i do not prefer cooking in the microwave but got the book since it had some lovely recipes so I just make them on the stove top. This is one easy recipes and tastes great with roti, chapati, parathas or puri.

2 onions chopped finely
1 tomato chopped finely

1/4 tsp garam masala

salt to taste

  4. Add the ground Paste and cook till oil separates.
  5. Add the tomato and cook for 5 minutes.
  6. Beat the curds well.
  7. Add the curds, corn and garam masala. Add some water to get desired consistency.Mix well.
  8. Cover and cook on low for 10 minutes or till the corn is cooked.
  9. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve.

Simple ,tasty and above all it cud be used as a versatile curry,since any of the veggie can be used.....I think its high time i start using some curd instead of just tomatoes,i think that will make lot of difference in texture and tanginess.....
thanks for sharing!
