Chicken Stew with Coconut Milk (Kerala style)
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!
