Potato Stew - Quick Make
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.
Ingredientsfor 4 servings
- 3 nos Potatoes chopped into 1 inch cubes, medium size

Put cut potatoes and onion into a cooking vessel.
Step 3

Step 4
All potatoes and onion pieces should be immersed in the liquid.
Step 5
After boiling, add green chillies and cook on small flame until potatoes and onions are cooked well.

Tip
Do not rush the onion and shallot frying. The difference between pale onions and properly browned onions is the difference between a flat dish and a flavourful one.
