Stew's are comfort food , total satisfying indeed. Its perfect when you want something light and yet tasty . This is a very simple and basic Stew recipe with coconut milk. I have served this Stew with Neer Dosa . Stew are also best served with a simple plain pulao, toasted bread , Appams or Neer Dosas.
Here I have added mix veggies of peas, french beans and carrot, pairing it with celery and bulbs of the spring onion. The only spice added is pepper and green chilies.

After 1 minute add the coconut milk cook for 2 mins.
For the neer dosa 3 cups any raw rice
Soak for 3 hours
Grind to paste with 3 tbsp desiccated coconut or fresh coconut which is optional. Add some amount of water.
Then once ground add another 4 cups water gradually ,checking the consistency . The consistency should be runny but at the same time not too much.
Use an onion, cut of the top . Poke a fork into flat side of the onion.
Use a non stick pan or cast iron pan.
Add some oil to a bowl, dip the onion into this oil and brush the pan. Using a ladle add some of the batter to the pan , swirling nice and round . Allow to cook on medium flame.
Continue the same with the rest of the batter.
