Description

A warm, spicy, and creamy chicken stew perfect for cozy winter nights, versatile enough to pair with bread, pasta, rice, or potatoes.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 pound chicken mince (substitute with tofu for veg or pork/beef as per preference)
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
  • 2 green chilies, chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 chicken stock cube or 1 cup chicken stock
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/2 cup cream

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped green chilies, finely chopped onions, and crushed garlic to the pan. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion begins to turn transparent.
  3. Add the diced tomatoes, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and chicken stock or stock cube. Stir well to combine.
  4. Cover the pan and let it cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and the mixture thickens.
  5. Add the chicken mince to the pan, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
  6. Stir in the cream and cook for an additional 3 minutes, allowing the stew to become creamy and heated through.
  7. Season with salt to taste and serve hot.

Notes

This stew is versatile and can be served with bread, pasta, rice, or potatoes. For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with tofu. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
