Potato Stew

I have a 2 year old who absolutely loves potato in any form....and this happens to be one of her recent favourites...picky as she is, rice finds a way into her tummy quite effortlessly if this is the dish for the day!!!
There are many variations of the stew and she loves them all equally...this particular one, that I have chosen to inaugurate my blog with, is also served in the traditional Kerala sadya...

Onto the recipe...

• Potatoes           -- 2 medium sized
• Ginger              -- 1 inch, thinly sliced
• Green Chilly     -- 3 (or more depending on your spice level), slit lengthwise
• Coconut Milk   -- 1-1.5 cups (medium thick)
• Curry Leaves    -- 1 sprig
• Salt to taste
• Coconut oil       -- 1 Tbsp

Pressure cook the potatoes until 3-4 whistles. Once the pressure is released, peel the skin off the potato and mash the potatoes (you can either mash the potatoes or cut them into little cubes, I personally prefer them mashed...)
Add the mashed potatoes, sliced ginger and slit green chillies to the coconut milk. Add salt as per paste. Stir continuously and bring to a boil...
Turn off the stove. Garnish with a spoon of coconut oil and a sprig curry leaves!

PS: The stew will thicken on cooling.
