Potato Stew
by Tarla Dalal

Bring Kerala to your table this morning, with this delicious and soothing Potato Stew.

An ideal accompaniment for Appam , Quick Idiyappam as well as for a bowl of hot, steaming Cooked Rice , the Potato Stew has the dominant flavour of coconut milk subtly spiced with green chillies.

A traditional tempering of mustard seeds, curry leaves and other ingredients gives the stew an instantaneous aroma boost! Enjoy it hot, enjoying the earthy smell of coconut oil as it wafts out with the steam!

Potato stew.. mildly flavour coconut accompaniment. I being a south indian i have found this recipe very tasty and perfect stew recipe. This is best had in breakfast with appam. The coconutty taste and the tempering with coconut oil.. just rules the whole dish... Try it out..
