    Notes

    •  If you feel the stew is watery add 1 tsp pf rice flour or corn flour in water make a paste and add in the stew. But I dint add as it was thick and creamy for me.
    •  Make sure you don’t substitute coconut oil with any other cooking oil for best taste.
    •  You can also add cauliflower and beans long with the vegetables added.
    •  Don’t overcook as the stew might curdle.
