I have come up with a delicious recipe specially for Eggetarians! Egg Mappas is a kerala special curry which is prepared in coconut milk. It is somewhat simar like a stew recipe , just some minute changes with the use of spices and condiments, otherwise in both stew and mappas recipe , we use coconut milk as the base.

You can use the same base recipe to make , chicken or mitton or veg mappas as well. I got this recipe from my Mom, she used to make this and serve with chappatis. This curry goes well with any mains ( Rice, appam, dosa, puttu or any breads).

Lets checkout the detailed recipe below 👇
