As I had mentioned in my previous post, I had made this Vegetable Stew to serve with the Appams. There's this restaurant called ID (the I and D stands for idli and dosa respectively) in Chennai, my daughter and I, both love their appam and stew, and I had been wanting to try it out at home. This stew is not very thick or starchy, as I don't add potatoes, but it's very light with a slight sweetish taste and goes very well with appam and idiyappam, do try this out the next time you make appams..

Cook the chopped vegetables till done, remove and keep.

Add the sugar, cardamom powder ( take the inner pods of cardamom and pound it well ) and a little salt, then add the first milk, warm it up and remove.
Note
This stew will be slightly sweet, so add salt accordingly.
Don't boil the stew after adding the first extract, the coconut milk might give out oil.
