Veg Stew

Description

Veg Stew is a traditional Kerala-style coconut milk-based curry made with assorted vegetables, mild spices, and fresh herbs. Known for its subtle flavor and creamy texture, it is typically served for breakfast or lunch alongside appam, idiyappam, or puttu.

The dish is prepared by simmering vegetables such as carrots, beans, potatoes, and peas in thin and thick coconut milk. Whole spices like cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom are used for aroma, while green chilies and ginger provide a gentle heat. Curry leaves and a final drizzle of coconut oil complete the dish with an authentic Kerala touch.

Veg Stew is a key component of festive vegetarian meals and special breakfasts across Kottayam, Ernakulam, and Thiruvananthapuram, and continues to be a wholesome comfort dish among Malayali families in Mississauga, Brampton, and Scarborough.
