Guys, I think I am trying to achieve international status cooking style. I think so. God! I am actually going all over the world, but not as in being in different countries. What I am trying to say is that I am trying recipes of different kinds from, this and that part of the world. Of course, Malaysian dishes are part and parcel of my cooking style and when we speak about Malaysian food, its not just my own kind dishes (
Indian Masala Chicken Curry,
Chicken Curry Potatoes &
Chicken Varuval), I must also include other races and religion food delight (
Chicken Devil Curry,
Ayam Masak Merah &
Easy Chicken Kebab). Furthermore, didn't you notice my Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese and the rest of the dishes from other parts of the world too (
Thai Tomato Soup,
Vietnamese Fish,
Unagi Kabayaki &
Bengali Fish Curry)? Of course, the list goes on and I can go on and on, so on and so forth, and quote other recipes as well (
Egg Vindaloo,
Hong Kong Style Steamed Fish,
Egg Benedict,
Prawn Cocktail,
Rice Pilaf &
Aloo Gosht). Much has already been spoken about, wouldn't you agree? Much has been unveiled on how far I have come and gone, and today, let's do this Moroccan Chicken Stew. As usual, let's work with the ingredients we already have in hand, maybe you need to get if not all, some of the ingredients? That too depends on you or you can look for the substitute in your kitchen as well. Moroccan Chicken Stew? Waking up your palates thick stew and succulent chicken deliciousness!

ReplyDeleteWOW! just feel like grabbing that bowl Nava. Looks so delicious..
ReplyDeleteIt happens to me quite often that I either read the recipe missing out on something or I forget.. :-)
yum....that chicken stew is super delicious. Nava u r simply great, u can manage so many things at time. I find balancing everything so difficult and i often forget doing one or the other thing despite i have lots of time while my kid sleeps..... :-(...anyways great shot, love the colours...it luks as if the chicken stew is alive and is calling me to eat it... :-)
ReplyDeleteOhh yes, cutting veggies and forgetting to add due to something going on inside the small head of mine happens once a week, so been there done that!! The chicken stew looks yum, the stew color says it all - I think you used a real good ripe red tomato(nowadays tomatoes here are slightly orangish and sturdy..hmm..not good...never get the right color in recipes).
ReplyDeleteLove the simple flavor and the rosemary addition is a good variant.
Very nice, inviting shot!
Hahaha! U're so cute, Nava! Nevertheless, the dish looks appetizing. I'm like u too, getting more & more forgetful these days. The other day my whole pot of barley went down the drain cause I forgot to turn off the fire :< There goes my WMF pot too! Lol!
ReplyDeleteThat is looking delicious.Love the way u say about ur kitchen garden as one important thing to care of.

Managing home & work is sometimes really difficult. Forgetting things to add to my dishes. this happens all the time with me.
ReplyDeleteChicken stew looks appetizing & yummmy. my kind of spicy stew with green & red chillies.
Tell me about it Nava.. It happens with me all the time.. Sometimes I'm very organised, sometimes very forgetful too.. And in my case I'd like to add - sometimes very lazy :D
ReplyDeleteKudos to you dear for managing a lot of things soo well.. Chicken stew looks delicious, yummy and nutritious dear :-)
it happens. I am getting forgetful too. There's so many things to do!
ReplyDeleteHaha.. That happens to me too very often.. Mostly I forget to add the curry leaves ;) This stew is rich in itself without the addition of potatoes :) I wud love to have it with bread !!
ReplyDeleteI hear a lot in my home that I am becoming forgetful but I don't take that seriously. We women forget things when we try to multitask. The chicken stew is just fine without potatoes.
ReplyDeleteLol,, about the the potato, it's happen to me sometime, otherwise it's still looks tempting without potato it's just perfect stew for me :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks super scrumptious, lovely colour on the dish
ReplyDeleteEven i get lost sometimes when i'm in the kitchen :( This chicken stew looks perfect even without potatoes.
ReplyDeleteThis is so, so, so tempting!
ReplyDeleteIT's great that u r doing an amazing job at balancing everything Nava :) I'm totally disorganized ,it's only at the last moment do I always decide what to cook :) Chicken stew looks very delicious and comforting !
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be my next happy one pot meal. Will certainly put in some potatoes for the hubby's sake.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if carrots, cabbages and cauliflower will go nicely?
This is a unique way to make chicken soup.
