2.  For this recipe, I used canned coconut milk as we dont get fresh coconut here in Taiwan.  Take 200 ml of coconut milk and dilute it into thin watery milk, by adding 2 cups of water .


3. In a pan, add coconut oil(You can also use normal oil ) .  Add items mentioned in the SEASONING section. Now add chopped onion,ginger, curry leave, green chilli and fry for few minutes. Do not let the onion to change color, as it will affect the color of the stew.



4. Now add cooked vegetables  and fry for 1 to 2 minute. Sprinkle some black pepper powder and add required salt.  Now add the diluted thin coconut milk. Keep the flame in medium and keep stirring, until the coconut milk starts to boil. Adjust the water consistency. The stew should be very thin. Switch off the stove.
