This chicken stew with an aromatic coconut milk gravy is a great comfort food. This recipe is from Kerala, a state in India, where they use a lot of both fresh coconut and coconut milk in their cooking. Creamy coconut milk makes this stew very soothing, cinnamon and cloves warm you up, you can taste just a hint of ginger and sweetness of onions. Green chillies are optional if you prefer mild food, but they add a nice kick to the stew. It tastes and in person looks much better than in a picture!
1/2 kg chicken pieces, skinless or with skin
2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into small cubes
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 cm ginger root, peeled and chopped
12 black peppercorns
3 cm cinnamon stick, broken into smaller pieces
5 cloves
1 cup coconut milk
10 curry leaves (optional)
2 green chillies, chopped (cut lengthwise and remove seeds for a milder version)
Salt to taste
Oil for frying
1. Heat some oil in a pot with a thick bottom and first fry the onion until it becomes soft. Don't let it brown, reduce the flame if it starts burning.
2. Next, add the ginger and fry for another moment.
3. Add cinnamon, black peppercorns, cloves and curry leaves and fry them only until they release the aroma (one minute or so). Don't worry if you cannot get curry leaves, just omit them.
4. Add the potatoes and chicken pieces, keep frying for a couple of minutes.
5. Mix half of coconut milk with 1/2 cup of water, pour over the chicken and bring it to a boil.
6. Add green chillies (optional) and salt to taste, cover the pot, reduce the flame and cook till the potatoes and chicken are done (10-15 minutes depending on the size of the pieces).
7. Once it's cooked, mix in the remaining half of coconut milk and remove the pot from the flame.
Enjoy!

It would be nice if Half Hour Meals would post along side their recipes a "Conversion Chart" from Metric to English. I grew up in the days when NO metric was ever taught in schools. This would be a wonderful addition to this great website. Thanks
