- 4 cloves Garlic(minced)
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil

👨🍳 निर्देश
- 1
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken pieces on all sides, working in batches if necessary. Remove chicken and set aside.
- 2
Add chopped onions and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- 3
Return the chicken to the pot. Add chicken broth, water, salt, pepper, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, or until chicken is tender.
- 4
Add chopped carrots and cubed potatoes to the pot. Continue to simmer, covered, for another 20-30 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.

While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the dumplings. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually stir in milk until a soft, sticky dough forms. Do not overmix.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: The dough should be wet enough to drop from a spoon. - 6
Increase the heat of the stew to a gentle simmer. Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough onto the surface of the simmering stew. Cover the pot tightly and cook for 15-20 minutes without lifting the lid.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Do not lift the lid while the dumplings are steaming, as this can make them dense. - 7
Once dumplings are cooked through and fluffy, remove bay leaves. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: A toothpick inserted into a dumpling should come out clean.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव
- ✓For a richer flavor, you can use chicken stock instead of broth.
- ✓Ensure the stew is simmering gently when adding the dumplings to prevent them from breaking apart.
- ✓If the stew becomes too thick, add a little more broth or water.
