Description
Chicken Stew is a mild, coconut milk-based curry that holds a special place in Kerala’s festive and Christian culinary traditions. Often served for breakfast alongside appam or idiyappam, especially during Christmas and Easter, this dish is known for its delicate flavor and creamy texture.
Prepared with bone-in chicken, the stew uses a base of thin and thick coconut milk, flavored gently with whole spices like cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon. Sliced onions, ginger, garlic, green chilies, and curry leaves are sautéed in coconut oil, creating a fragrant yet subtle broth. Vegetables like carrot or potato are occasionally added for richness and texture.
Chicken Stew is commonly enjoyed in central Kerala districts like Kottayam, Ernakulam, and Pathanamthitta, and continues to be a comforting and celebratory dish for Malayali families in Mississauga, Scarborough, and Calgary.
