Chicken Stew

When the weather gets cold, we all feel to have some comfort and soupy food and this resulted me in the making of this chicken stew. You could also follow the same recipe with vegetables for vegetable stew. The chicken stew is an bright aromatic, a rich stock and long-cooked savory chicken.
Also this recipe, is good for sore throat, cold and cough because of the pepper in it. This chicken stew goes out well with appam (Hoppers) and Idiyappam (String hoppers). I have served this with appam and egg appam.
