Vegetable Stew(Kerala special)

I happend to taste this recipe at Taj, Kumarkoam (Kerela). The stew was so good to go with appam and iddyappam. Later I googled for this recipe and made at Home several times.

Ingredients:

Coconut milk 1 litre
Mixed vegetables chopped in cubes(cauliflower, potato, beans, carrot, peas, turnip, capsicum)
Onion finely chopped one cup
4 green chillies vertically slitted
3 inch ginger chopped
4 whole black pepper crushed
2-4 black pepper
4-6 cardamom pods crushed
Cinnamon stick 1
Cloves 2
Salt to taste
Preferably coconut oil 4-6 teaspoon.

Preparation:

1. Take a deep pan and add oil to it.

2. Once the oil comes to smoky boil turn it to sim and start adding spices...whole black pepper, cardomom, cinnamon, cloves.

3. Later add green chillies, ginger and onion...now wait until onion turns translusent.

4. Then add vegetables plus salt...cook them with little water and by covering with a lid.

5. When the vegetables are cooked add coconut milk and bring it to one boil.

This can be taken along with Dosa, Appam, Plain Rice, Chappathi, Poori.....etc.
