Kerala Potato Ishtu or Urulakizhangu Stew is a potato curry cooked in coconut milk. It is a classic side dish for a Kerala sadhya. A sadhya is a vegetarian feast that is served for lunch on the Kerala festival days of Vishu and Onam. The ishtu is also an everyday dish that is eaten as an accompaniment for appam. Appam and stew is one of Kerala’s favourite breakfasts and enjoyed by all the communities that make up Kerala society. The Kerala Potato Ishtu is simple yet creamy and the coconut oil that is added to it at the end of cooking heightens the flavour.
