Kerala Chicken Stew







Kerala on the southern part of India is known for vast amount of coconut trees. Almost in every keralite recipe coconut would be an main ingredient. Keralite recipes are non-spicy at the same time great in taste. This is one of my favourite keralite recipe to have with Rice.


Ingredients
Chicken boneless-500gms
Onion big chopped-1
Tomato big chopped-1
Green Chillies slit-2
Ginger and garlic paste-1tsp
Chilly powder-2tsp
Turmeric powder-1/4tsp
Salt to taste
Thick coconut milk-1cup
Coconut oil/ Any oil-4tbsp
Cinnamon-1"
Cloves-2
Cardamom-1

Method
Heat coconut oil in a wok, add the cinnamon, cloves and cardamom fry till you get the aroma, then add the onions, chicken and green chillies fry till onions turn pink in colour. Add the ginger-garlic paste, cook till the raw smell leaves, now add the tomatoes cook well so the tomatoes get mashed. When the mixture becomes thick add turmeric powder, chilly powder and salt. Add 1 cup of water and allow to boil. Cover the wok with a lid and allow to cook for 10 mins until the chicken is well cooked. Uncover the lid, add thick coconut milk to the chicken gravy and simmer for 2 mins. Serve hot with white rice.
