Mixed vegetable Stew

In my last post I had written about Appam. In case, you have missed my earlier post of Appam, you can check it out here.
It is said that one just cannot have Appam without stew! They have to go hand-in-hand just like Idli-Sambhar!  

This stew is very delicious and somewhat similar to our famous “Amchi” dish “Vulvul” / “Yogiratna”.

 

Ingredients:

Mixed Vegetables	About 2 cups
Onion	1 medium
Green chilies	3-4
Ginger	½ inch piece
Coconut milk	About 1 cup
Curry leaves	1 sprig
Coconut oil	1-2 tsp
Salt	As per taste

Method:

1. Cut all the vegetables and onion into medium pieces. Chop ginger into small bits and slit green chilies.
2. In a saucepan, boil with water all the vegetables together with onion, green chilies and ginger bits.
3. When cooked, add salt. Stir well.
4. Then add the diluted coconut milk and let it simmer for a few minutes.
5. Finally add the concentrated coconut milk. Give it a good stir and add the curry leaves and coconut oil. Mix well and remove from flame.
6. Serve hot with Appams.

Preparation time: 15 mins

Cooking time: 20 mins

Serves: 4

Note:

• Stew is generally served with Appam.
• Instead of vegetables, you can also make potato stew using only potatoes. The choice is yours.
• I used packaged coconut milk in the recipe. If you are preparing the coconut milk at home, then use the first and the second extract at No.4 as mentioned and the concentrated one at the end.
• After the addition of the concentrated coconut milk, take care that as soon as it starts to boil, remove from flame as coconut milk may split.
