👨‍🍳 निर्देश

1. 1

   Season chicken pieces generously with salt and pepper.

   💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Ensure even coating for best flavor.
2. 2

   Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown chicken pieces on all sides until golden. Remove chicken and set aside.

3. 3

   Add chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

   💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
4. 4

   Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.

5. 5

   Add diced tomatoes, curry powder, cumin, and coriander. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.

6. 6

   In a separate bowl, whisk together peanut butter and chicken broth until smooth. Pour this mixture into the pot.

   💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Ensuring the peanut butter is well combined prevents lumps.
7. 7

   Return the browned chicken to the pot. Bring the stew to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 1 hour, or until chicken is tender.

   💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
8. 8

   While the stew simmers, prepare the dumplings. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

   💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Sift dry ingredients for lighter dumplings.
9. 9

   Gradually add milk to the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Do not overmix.

10. 10

    Increase the heat of the stew to a gentle simmer. Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough onto the surface of the simmering stew.

    💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Leave space between dumplings as they will expand.
11. 11

    Cover the pot tightly and let the dumplings steam for 15-20 minutes, without lifting the lid.

    💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: A tight-fitting lid is crucial for steaming.
12. 12

    Check dumplings for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean. Season the stew with additional salt and pepper to taste before serving.
