💥A Cozy Sunday with Chicken Stew and Family

𝙒𝙚𝙡𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙈𝙮 𝘽𝙡𝙤𝙜 😊🙏

Yesterday was Sunday, and while my husband and daughters were in the mood to relax, I, as usual, didn’t get any rest. Sundays especially mean taking care of everyone’s whims! 😂 My husband requested his favorite chai, and both my little princesses were lost in their mobiles. Despite all this, there’s a certain joy I find in pampering them.

For lunch, everyone wanted chicken stew, which happens to be a favorite in our household. And honestly, I love preparing it as much as they enjoy eating it. There’s something comforting about a warm, hearty bowl of chicken stew. It’s a dish that brings us all together at the table, no matter how busy the day is.

Let me share a little bit about this delicious dish and the recipe, in case you want to try it yourself!

Wash the chicken pieces and set them aside.

In a cooker heat the oil . Add the chopped onions and cook until the onions become translucent.

Add the cumin seeds, bay leaves, cinnamon stick, and peppercorns. Saute them together.

Add turmeric powder and mix well.

Add ginger garlic paste.

Add chopped tomatoes and dried red chilli and mix well.

Now, add the chicken pieces and capsicum to the cooker. Stir them well, so they get coated with the spices.

Add 1/2 cup water/ coconut milk (if available) . Season with salt and cover, and let the stew simmer for 10- 15 minutes on low heat, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

After releasing the pressure from the cooker, keep it on the stove for 5 more minutes.

Garnish and Serve:
Once done, sprinkle fresh coriander on top and serve the chicken stew hot with bread or rice.

This chicken stew is perfect for a cozy family meal and is always a hit in our home. Simple ingredients, hearty flavors, and a lot of love – that’s what makes this dish special!

Enjoy cooking and have a lovely Sunday! 😊
I was planning to submit the chicken stew recipe for the creative Sunday contest, but relatives arrived in the evening and stayed until today afternoon. Because of that, I couldn’t post the recipe on Sunday.
