Hi!

This is the NV version of the Stew to go with Appam. Goes very well with Fresh Bread too.......and also with Pulao and Poori!


Kerala Chicken Stew


1/2 Kg. - Chicken cut into pieces
2 - Potato cubed
1 - Carrot, cut length wise (abt. an inch)
6 - Green beans, cut length wise as carrot
1/2 cup - Fresh Green peas
1 - Onion cubed
5/6 - Green chillies, slit
A few Curry leaves
Couple of pcs. Cinnamon (Whole)
4/5 - Cloves
2 - Cardamom
1 - tsp. -Whole Black Pepper
3 cups - Coconut Milk
oil
salt to taste


Add little oil to the pan. Put in the whole Spices, fry. Put in the cubed onions and green chillies and Chicken, saute till onion is translucent. Now add all veggies, except potato and peas(these take less time to cook, so u add them later on). Saute well. Now take 1 cup coconut milk add 1/2 cup water to it and pour into pan, close and cook till veggies are half done, now add potatoes and green peas. Remaining coconut milk, cook on medium fire till all the veggies are cooked, making sure it does'nt all mash up. Put fresh curry leaves on the top. Close, put off stove. Allow to stand for 20 mts. before u dig in![/B]
