Potato Stew | Potato Stew Recipe | Kerala Recipes

I am a Kannadiga meaning I am from Karnataka, in the Southern part of India. 
That said, my parents have always exposed me to different cuisines from the Southern region as well as other parts of India.
Since my dad grew up in Kerala, he has a special place for Kerala/Malabar cuisine, in his heart which he has passed on to me as well.

On every trip to Kerala, I remember my father ordering Kerala/Malabar Parota with Kerala style Potato stew / Chicken Stew or Mutton Stew. 

In November 2018, on a sunny weekend day in Singapore, I decided to cook the Kerala Recipe Potato Stew at home.

Here is the recipe for the same, inspired by a recipe shared by Alisha on Instagram.
