#milk - This yummy Kerala style hearty Pasta & Veggie Stew is a must try recipe. Very easy and healthy, it is a perfect meal to be enjoyed just as it is, with appam or idiyappam. It is in fact a one-pot wonder that can be relished as a light meal too. It is very light on the tummy and the creamy texture from the coconut milk gives it a rich and an aromat flavour with a hint of sweetness.
