Navaratan Kurma

This is a unique kurma and not with regular red or orange gravy. This is white sauce blend with minimal spice mixed with fruits and vegetables. Gives a sweet and spicy gravy. It has a tasty flavour and is great with Parathas or Naan or Chapati’s. Navaratan means 9 different Precious colorful Stones / Gems. This gravy also includes like colorful veggies and fruits in that.
