I dont cook potatoes very often. Honestly, i dont like those gargantuan burly potatoes. I prefer the baby bite sized potatoes. Occasionally, when i do buy a few potatoes, our meals see this delicious creamy stew and we gorge on this alongside lacy aapams. They make a hearty breakfast that s very amiable with the tummy. I m not going to talk much today. Oh! i m just a lil tongue tied after a hectic Sunday. So this post is just going to be some stew, aapam and me.

Appam and potato stew is my fav fav combo!! I add some carrots n green peas as well.
This is the way eat our Aappams, unlike tamil homes where just coconut milk is used..
Perfect with the aapam..
I want that plate rite now,soooo tempting.
Perfect combo to go with Appam. After seeing this I could very easily give up coconut milk, my favorite way of relishing appams.
oh mine…best combo for aapam…
