People get confused with white veg kurma and veg stew recipe. But both are totally different in cooking method and taste wise. White veg kurma is cooked with fresh coconut whereas veg stew is cooked with coconut milk and veg kurma is even more spicier than veg stew. You can check my white veg kurma here. You can use vegetables like carrot, potato, peas, beans and cauliflower. Since i did not have cauliflower in hand i skipped it. If you have readymade coconut milk in hand then veg stew recipe takes only 15-20 minutes. In our home we all like stew with idiyappam, However you can also serve it with idli dosa and chappathi.
