Add the chopped onion and fry for few secs. Add the rest of vegetables and tomatoes to the frying onion and saute well. Now add red chilli powder, turmeric powder and fennel powder to the pan and stir well. Reduce the heat and add the ground masala paste to the pan. Fry the masala paste and veggie on low heat for 2 mins. Add a cup of water to the pan, stir well, increase heat and bring the gravy to boil.

Reduce the heat again, cover pan with tight lid and cook the kurma on low heat for 7 mins or until the vegetables are soft and tender.
