Potato Stew


Potato Stew is so easy to make. It goes well with Poori, Chappathi or Appam, and even rice.

Ingredients:
Potatoes - 4 medium sized, chopped to 1' cubes
Onion - 1 medium sized, chopped
Green chilli - 5 nos
Coconut milk - 1 1/2 cups
Oil -2 tbsp
Curry leaves - 1 sprig
Salt - to taste

Appam

I have seen people making Appam from the scratch back home. However, the next best thing is to get Palappam powder (Double Horse or Nirapara brand). It is available at Indian stores. Make sure you buy the instant Palappam Mix. These does not need yeast or do not need to be mixed the previous day. Double Horse mix needs to be made one hour before making it. All you need is sugar, salt & water. (Milk is optional). If mixed well, the Appam comes out to be really good.





Ingredients:
Easy Palappam Powder - 1 packet
Sugar - 4 tsp
Salt - 1/2 tsp or to taste
Water - 5-6 glasses (Use 1/2 glass Milk if preferred)

Mix all the ingredients well. Add additional water if necessary. The batter should not be thick. Keep the mix for an hour. Use the batter to create yummy appams.
