#365positivity: 7/6: My Chicken Stew
My family loves this stew, so here's the recipe. I thought I'd written it up before, but I hadn't added it to my memories and with no search function on LJ, it's now lost FOR EVAH!
Skinless, boneless chicken thighs, chopped in largish-mediumish pieces
Canola Oil
2 large white or yellow Onions, chopped small
1 large Bell Peppers, chopped small
1 can sliced Water Chestnuts
1 can black Olives
1 can sliced Mushrooms
1 can Baby Corn
Cumin Powder
Coriander Powder
Garam Masala
Methi Powder
Garlic Powder
Coconut Milk
Salt
Heat oil in a wide flat-bottomed pan. Fry the spice powders a bit: cumin, coriander, methi, garam masala, and garlic. Add onions. Turn the heat up high and fry stirring every once in a while. Then add bell peppers. Once cooked, add salt. Cook for a minute more. Then add water chestnuts, olives, mushrooms, and baby corn. Stir and cook for a minute. Add the coconut milk and more salt. Simmer for two minutes. Add the chicken. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for an hour stirring occasionally.
(You can add carrots and red potatoes, too; just cook them after adding the coconut milk and before adding the chicken.)
