Bean Stew
A gentle, coconut milk-based stew with soft vegetables and whole spices floating in a pale, fragrant broth. Kerala stew is quiet comfort food — not loud with chilli, but warm with cardamom and black pepper.

- 250 g Beans
- 1 nos Potatoes — chopped
- 1/2 Of Coconut — grated
- Ginger a small piece — chopped
- 3 nos Green chillies slit lengthwise

Tip
Fresh curry leaves make a genuine difference. Dried curry leaves are a poor substitute — if you cannot get fresh ones, increase the quantity and fry them longer.
