Cook Indian Vegetable Stew

May 11, 2016 by maria 19 Comments

We had bought lot of vegetables form the market so we decided to Cook Indian Vegetable Stew! Thanks to my mom for this wonderful recipe. Its easy to make this Cook Indian Vegetable Stew. The best part is Indian Vegetable Stew is healthy, mouthwatering, delicious and the most awesome recipe I have tasted and made till date. My pet and my dad both loved this Indian Vegetable Stew as it consist of corn. Fortunately my pet loves corn so ate the stew quietly 🙂 without cribbing for non vegetarian food.

Cook Indian Vegetable Stew

There are lot of variations to make Indian vegetable stew. Mostly its cooked in Coconut milk. Now let me explain you there are two kinds of coconut milk Thick coconut milk and Thin coconut milk. Next question would be how would you differentiate between them. Let me answer you first grate fresh coconut. Take the fresh grated coconut grind into a processor with little water. Take a mesh strainer and extract the milk Or squeeze with your hand and strain the coconut on strainer. This is your thick coconut milk.

Now take the leftover coconut pulp and grind into the processor with /2 cup water. Again squeeze on the strainer and extract the milk. This would be your thin coconut milk. Also the leftover coconut pulp can be utilized in vegetable paste. This way you could use the coconut entirely and add more flavor to your food. Hope this description of coconut helps you further in cooking!

      Sweetspice looks similar to peppercorn but it has a small little extension coming out. It’s black in color I don’t have a pic of it. Sweet spice is also called as all spice. Just type on google all spice and it will show you the image. Hope this helps you also you can omit sweet spice if not available.

      Thanks,
      Maria

      Hey Amy,

      Thanks I agree coconut milk is mostly from Kerala however its also used in konkan belt and goan cuisines. I have a background of kerala as well as goan so its a combo of both. Also have added yogurt which gives a northern touch hence it becomes as Indian dish 🙂 lol

      By the way I also love coconut milk base in curries Or soup.

      Love,
      Maria
