Heat vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add the chicken pieces to the pot and brown them on all sides. Stir in the turmeric powder and cook for 1 minute.

Add the sliced bamboo shoots and radishes to the pot. Pour in the water or chicken broth, ensuring the ingredients are mostly submerged. Bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender, and the vegetables are soft.
💡 Conseils de pro: Simmering allows the flavors to meld together and the chicken to become very tender. - 6
Season with salt to taste. If the stew is too thin, you can simmer it uncovered for a few more minutes to reduce the liquid.

Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro. This stew is traditionally served with Bhutanese red rice.
