Prawns and Vegetable Stew with Coconut Milk



Prawns and Vegetable Stew


Prawns and vegetable stew is quick and easy to make. Stew is made with a generous amount of coconut milk and has a delicate flavor and great taste. Coconut milk adds a creamy and rich taste to the stew. Spicy chili and earthy spices give the right balance of sweetness, heat, and flavor. Stews made with coconut milk are one of the quintessential dishes of Kerala cuisine. Appam and stew is a popular breakfast recipe. Appam and chicken stew are served as the first course at wedding parties. This is a classic one you will never get tired of eating.

 Mild, creamy, and flavorful stew eaten out of the bowl with soft bread is a comforting meal. It is my go-to, especially on cold winter evenings. It is simple enough to make for a weekday dinner, and the curry is ready in under twenty minutes. This stew is versatile, and you can make countless variations by adding fish, chicken, mutton, or beef. You can use a combination of vegetables like potatoes, sweet potatoes, peas, beans, carrots, or any vegetable of your choice. You can also experiment with different flavors like Thai curry paste for a different flavor and taste. Prawns and vegetable stew tastes delicious. It is best when paired with steamed rice, flatbread like naan, or appam. Go ahead then and give it a try. I would love to hear from you, so let me know how it turned out for you. Enjoy!
