Butter milk stew
Background
This butter milk stew is made with vegetables cooked in a delectable combination of fresh coconut, pasted green chillis and well beaten sour yogurt or curd. Vegetables like okra, tomato, bottle gourd and drum sticks are usually used to prepare this flavored dish with a tinge of spice that tickles your taste buds. I have used tomato, onions and few fenugreek leaves to make this stew.
