Hi Annita,
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Whenever i make idiyappam i have it with some milk and sugar,however my hubby doesn’t like it that way…so will try your potato stew next time.

Potato stew I know of and I make very often, has just the cubed potatoes, sliced onions, lots of – slit green cillies+ ginger juliennes , salt, coconut milk(or regular grinded coconut) and finally for garnishing, lots of curry leaves and few drizzles of coconut oil. that’s abt it. No mustard seeds or garlic, or masalas or tomatoes are added to our stew. Well, I’ll have to try yours the next time I make Idli or Idiappams. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

My gradma used to prepare the same with pattani (peas). I just love her stew. Still now searching for this recipe. Thanks Annita. It goes well with kuska or coconut milk rice.
Haven’t tried with green peas yet,Prabha..Thanks for the info.
