                                           Potato stew 

.

                      It is an amazing combination, Appam with Stew .I love to have this dish for full day ..easy to prepare and very tasty too.I strongly recommend you to use coconut oil for this potato stew.The same recipe you can use for preparing vegetable stew also.For that Just you have to add carrot,peas, and beans together with potato.
