Serve warm with hot potato stew.

Boil the potatoes and keep aside.
Grind the chillies, ginger, garlic and pepper coarsely. Lightly fry this in some oil.
Add the onions and saute till it turns transparent.

Pour the coconut milk and remove from fire just before it boils. If you boil coconut milk, it loses it flavour. Adjust salt at this stage.
