Kerala Style Potato Stew Recipe | Ishtu

Potato Stew is a very easy and simple dish of Kerala that goes well with Appam, Poori, Chapathi, Puttu, Idiyappam, or even with plain bread. Recently, I tasted this in my friend’s house. She served this yummy potato stew with brown rice Idiyappam and it tasted divine.  My MIL used to grind the coconut and add the coconut paste to this stew, but my friend told that its conventional to use the coconut milk instead of grinding and adding the coconut paste. So, this time, I tried adding coconut milk and it turned out so yummy. Also, instead of adding only potato, I enriched with peas, carrot and beans to make it much healthier.

Notes

1. We can exclude other veggies and add only potato and onion
2. We can use store bought coconut milk. I usually get 1 can of coconut milk, take half of it aside for thick milk. Dilute the rest of the milk with 1.5 to 2 cups of water and keep it aside for thin consistency.
3. Always switch off the flame and add the thick coconut milk. We should not boil the stew after adding thick coconut milk.
