Stews prepared in Kerala are mainly vegetables or any meat cooked in coconut milk. There are different variations. Some are prepared without any garam masalas. Here, I'm sharing you a recipe of Potato Stew, which calls for whole garam masalas.


I would suggest you to prepare this Potato stew in pressure cooker to get a creamier consistency if you are using raw potatoes. Otherwise, boiled potatoes will also do the job.
