Heat a heavy bottomed pan and add oil. Add whole garam masalas and saute them in oil. To that, add the peppercorns, slit green chillies, curry leaves and chopped ginger and saute them all till you get a nice aroma out of the masala
Then, add the thinly sliced onions and saute them in oil till they turn translucent. When the onions are translucent, then add chopped potatoes, carrot, beans and peas and stir-fry in high flame for couple of minutes
Then add thin coconut milk along with salt and cook the veggies till they are nicely tender and soft
When the veggies are cooked completely, add the thick coconut milk along with chopped curry leaves and pepper powder and mix well. Switch off the flame.
The delicious Kerala Style Potato Stew is now ready to serve! Relish with your roti, idiyappam or appam and enjoy the dish!
- We can exclude other veggies and add only potato and onion
- 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.
- Always switch off the flame and add the thick coconut milk. We should not boil the stew after adding thick coconut milk.
