RECIPE

Heat 1 tbsp of coconut oil in a pan and add 2 cloves, 1 bay leaf, ½ inch cinnamon stick and 1 cardamom pod. Add ½ inch ginger and 2 thinly sliced green chillies. Now add 1 small onion thinly sliced and saute it for 1-2 minutes. Then to this, add 1 medium-sized potato cut into cubes, 1 carrot cut into cubes, ½ cup of chopped beans and ½ cup of frozen peas. Now, you can add a pinch of salt and cook on medium heat till the vegetables become soft and tender. Add 1 cup of water to the pan and let it come to a boil. Close the lid of the pan and slow cook on low heat to make sure the vegetables are cooked properly. Now add ¾ cup of coconut milk and stir.

Once the vegetables are cooked, add ½ cup of coconut milk with a little thick consistency and mix well. Season the stew with some black pepper powder to enhance the flavour. Cook the stew for 1-2 minutes on low heat. To add a little more good flavour, prepare the tempering, simply fry some curry leaves in oil. Top the stew with the fried curry leaves and a few drops of coconut oil and serve it.
