Spicy Vegetable Stew

Since we are talking about saving time in cooking, better pressure-cook the chopped veggies after adding enough water and salt, upto 1 whistle. You can also cook in an open vessel. Though better, go for pressure-cooking to save time and energy.

After opening the lid, add the whole spices and cook, till all the water gets evaporated. You can also add cooked green peas at this stage.

Reduce the flame and add the thick coconut milk.

Do not boil. Just heat it through.

Check the level of salt and add more if required.

Add curry leaves and remove from fire.

Serve warm with hot appams.

If this is not spicy enough for you, you can also add a tsp of Garam masala powder and mix well. So you get a whole stew dish in 5 simple steps. The only additional time u might need would be to extract coconut milk, which too could be prepared by mixing instant coconut powder. So there you goa within minutes, a veg stew ready on your table to be served with hot appams or rotisa.Another good thing is that it is highly relished by kids too thx to its striking color combo combined with its mild hotness and spiciness.
