Notes

  1.  You can add mutton instead of chicken.  But cook the mutton in a pressure cooker with some salt and then add to the onions.
  2. If you find that the coconut milk has curdled, add a tsp of cornflour to half a cup of water and pour it into the stew. 
  3. After you add the vegetables, adjust the salt.  Add more if required.
