    There are some memories that one never forgets, there are tastes that always take you back in time and spread warmth in your heart, irrespective of how chilly (-10 degrees here ?) it is outside!

    I’ve got this “Prawns and Drumstick Coconut Stew” recipe from my mamma, and like nearly all her recipes, this one comforts my very soul. Although I’m not a great fan of drumsticks, I know drumsticks and coconut are good friends, and when cooked in a stew with prawns, the result is an utterly delicious dish!

    This is a mild and flavourful stew which is made wonderfully creamy by the addition of coconut milk. I prefer a thicker sauce but you can adjust according to your preference.

    For vegetarians, simply omit prawns and just keep to drumsticks in coconut stew or feel free to add in carrots, potatoes, basically any veggie of choice.
