Chicken Stew
Here is a recipe for a cold winter evening when you want to stew up a healthy meal in no time. As I have mentioned before there are numerous recipes for a chicken stew and the other recipes that I have posted so far ,but I would love to share the ones which are the simplest to make and yet delicious to taste. My mother- in -law gets a finger licking and lip smacking result to the same recipe, lets see if we can manage to get the same.
Ingredients
1. 250 grams boneless chicken cut into bite size pieces.
2. 500 gms mixed vegetables ( you could use all the vegetables in any amount provided they total up to 500 gms) carrots, potatoes ,tomatoes and beans chopped into ¾ inch size, peas and cauliflower florets .
2. One medium onion thinly sliced.
3. Six or seven peppercorns.
4. One inch piece of cinnamon stick
5. 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour.
6. 500 ml water.
7. 4 tablespoons refined oil.
Method
1. Take a medium sized pressure cooker and warm the oil in it.
2. Add the pepper corns and cinnamon and stir for a few seconds.
3. Add the sliced onions and brown them on medium flame.
4. Add the chicken pieces and stir for five minutes.
5. Add 400 ml of water and give one or two whistles till the chicken is ¾ th done. In the mean time chop the vegetables.
6. Add the chopped vegetables to the pressure cooker and give one more whistle ,the vegetables should be pleasantly crunchy after the steam comes off.
7. Roast the whole wheat flour on a hot griddle / tava at medium flame , care is to taken that the flour doesn’t get brown ,it should just about change the original colour.
8. Let the flour get cool and then dissolve it in 100 ml of water. Mix it well to avoid any lumps.
9. Pour this mixture into the pressure cooker and stir for 2-3 minutes and let the stew boil a little.
10. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve with any bread of your choice.
