Vegetable Stew


In my last post I had shared that I was off to Kerala and that I would sample Appam and stew at many restaurants and get the recipe for authentic Kerala Stew. Here it is....

Ingredients
1 Carrot (scraped and cut into 1 inch strips)
10 - 15 French Beans (cut into 1 inch strips diagonally)
1 small Cauliflower (cut into florets)
1 medium-sized Potato (peel and cut into small pieces)
100 ml Coconut Oil
Coconut Milk of one coconut
Full garam masala - four cardamons, 2 1-inch pieces of cinnamon, 5-6 cloves
1 onion (finely chopped)
3-4 cloves of garlic (finely chopped)
1 Inch piece ginger cut into thin strips)
2 green chillies (cut into small pieces)
Salt to taste
1/2 tsp sugar

Procedure
Boil vegetables with some water for a couple of minutes till cooked. Drain out the water and keep separately. In a thick-bottomed pan, heat oil, add fresh and dried spices with chopped onion and saute for a few minutes on low flame. Add boiled vegetables and the water kept aside and bring and heat well. Turn off flame and add coconut milk, salt and sugar and serve with Appam, Neer Dosa or Idiappam.
