Chicken Stew

In most cases, winters refer to a leaky nose and a sore throat, which is why we’re introducing to a dish that feels like a warm hug on a cold winter day. Chicken Stew is a nutritious and delicious meal that is packed with the goodness of chicken and veggies. It might look simple, but be warned, it is packed with subtle yet gripping flavours that will encourage you to take a second serving. 

Ingredients :

• 500gms chicken pieces with the bone 
• 1 big sized potato
• 1 big sized onion
• 1 big sized carrot
• 1 small raw papaya
• 8 – 10 french beans
• 1 tomato 
• ½ tsp ginger paste
• ½ tsp garlic paste
• ⅔ crushed black pepper
• 1 tsp turmeric powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp lemon juice 
• 2 cinnamon sticks 
• 3 – 4 whole cloves
• 8 – 10 whole black pepper
• 1 tsp garam masala
• 2 tbsp Doctors Choice Refined Soybean oil

Method :

Wash the chicken pieces under running water and drain off any excess water. In a mixing bowl, marinate the chicken with lemon juice, turmeric powder and ½ tsp of salt. 

Take the vegetables and cut them into long strips and cut the onion into big chunks. 

In a pressure cooker, pour in 2 tbsp of Doctors Choice Refined Soybean oil  and heat it along with the whole spices – cinnamon, clove, black pepper

Add the chopped onions, ginger and garlic paste and saute it for a minute

Next, gently include the chicken pieces into the pressure cooker and stir while coating it with the oil and whole spices. 

Throw in the rest of the veggies and mix the ingredient well. 

Add salt as per your liking and pepper powder and give it another good mix. Let it cook for another 5 minutes. 

Pour in a sufficient amount of water as per your liking and put the pressure cooker lid back on and let the stew cook for about 3 whistles. 

Switch off the flame and allow the chicken to cook inside the pressure cooker till the pressure is released completely. 

Remove the lid and add garam masala powder to the well-cooked stew and mix well. 

Enjoy while the stew is hot!
