Kerala Vegetable Istew

Ingredients

• •Mixed vegetables: potato, carrot, green beans, peas
• •1.5 tbsp ROASTICOCO
• •2 cups coconut milk
• •1 onion, sliced
• •Green chilies, ginger
• •Coconut oil
• •Whole spices

Method

1. 1

   Heat coconut oil in a wide pan. Add whole spices, onions, green chilies, and ginger. Cook gently until onion softens but doesn't brown.

2. 2

   Add ROASTICOCO and stir for 30 seconds. Unlike other recipes, keep the heat low here — we want aroma, not color.

3. 3

   Add harder vegetables (potato, carrot) first with a splash of water. Cover and cook 8 minutes.

4. 4

   Add remaining vegetables. Pour in coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer — never boil.

5. 5

   Season with salt. The stew should be ivory-white, aromatic, and gently thickened.

6. 6

   Serve immediately with appam or Kerala white rice.
