👨🍳 Інструкції
- 1
Season the chicken pieces generously with salt and black pepper.
- 2
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken pieces on all sides until golden. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside.
- 3
Add the chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Stir in the chopped bell peppers and tomatoes. Cook for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
- 5
Add the curry powder, smoked paprika, turmeric, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.
- 6
Return the browned chicken pieces to the pot. Pour in the water or chicken broth. Bring the liquid to a simmer.
- 7
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, or until the chicken is very tender. Stir occasionally, adding more liquid if needed.
- 8
Once the chicken is tender, remove the lid and let the stew simmer uncovered for another 15-20 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
- 9
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary. If using, drizzle with marula oil just before serving.
- 10
Serve hot with oshifima (stiff maize porridge), rice, or crusty bread.
