Ingredients
  • Chicken - 1 kg, curry cut, bone-in & skinless
  • Coconut milk - 400 gms (1 can)
  • Onion - 2, medium, thinly sliced
  • Garlic - 10 to 15 cloves, minced
  • Carrot - 2, medium
  • Green beans - 10 to 12
  • Potatoes - 2, medium
  • Turmeric powder - 1 tsp
  • Kashmiri red chilli powder - 1 tsp
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Oil - 4 tbsp
Instructions
  1. Wash the chicken pieces well and drain out all the water. Cut the carrots and beans into long pieces, cut potatoes into 1-inch cubes and thinly slice the onions.
  2. Now heat a large pot, big enough to hold all chicken, veggies and stew broth.
  3. Once the pan is hot, add the oil of your choice. Let the oil warm up.
  4. Reduce the heat and add the minced garlic cloves and sauté them for a few seconds ensuring they do not burn.
  5. Next add the chicken pieces and continue sauté them on medium flame for 5 to 8 minutes until they turn light golden.
  6. Add the sliced onion at this stage and continue cooking chicken and onion for 10 to 15 minutes until chicken pieces turn golden brown.
  7. Then add all the veggies - carrots, beans and potatoes. Cook the veggies and chicken on medium flame for 10 minutes.
  8. Now add the turmeric powder and Kashmiri red chilli powder. Stir the chicken and veggies nicely so that spices coat them evenly.
  9. Once oil starts to release from the side of the pan, it’s time to add water. First season with salt & pepper and then add about 2 cups of hot water to the pan.
  10. Bring the broth to boil. Then cover and simmer the stew for 10 minutes.
  11. Remove the lid, give the stew a good stir and check if veggies have softened. If not, cover the pan again and let them simmer for another 5 to 8 minutes.
  12. Then remove the lid and check the doneness of chicken & veggies which should be cooked by now.
  13. Now add the showstopper - the thick & creamy coconut milk - keeping the heat on low.
  14. Give the coconut milk chicken stew a good stir so that coconut milk is evenly mixed with the liquid and creates a silky, smooth & luscious broth.
  15. Let the chicken stew come to a full boil. Check the seasoning and adjust if needed.
  16. Allow the stew to simmer for a few more minutes to bring the consistency of the broth to your liking. It should be nicely thick, but not too much like a curry.
  17. Your healthy & tasty coconut milk chicken stew loaded with veggies is ready for you to savor! Serve it warm and enjoy!
