Chicken Stew in easiest way

Hi, so after a long gap I am here again. In the mean time I was in Kolkata after 6 months. It was a really pleasant time I have spent with my parents. We bought a Barbie for my bonu (my cousin) as she got the first place in a talent exam (hopeless, I forgot the name) and the gift really made her happy. She asked me for a barbie last year, but then I had already left Kolkata. Now I am happy as I could keep my promise to the pretty little girl. We reached Chennai on 1st July and I became sick. Some kind of muscle pain pushed me back to complete bed rest for 1 week. Got a check up to Fortis Malar Hospital for 2 times and totally separated from computer. Doctor Anand even asked me not to sit. But now I am quite well and it is my first day with my laptop. 

But you know, it was truly spoken by  some wise that when a girl marries she exchanges the attentions of many men for the inattention of one.... in the time of my pain, I still had to attend my homemaking job :-/ . 

But the greater minds always forgive the lesser. I forgive him every time ;-) .

Well, I am not so much happy for Neymar's injury. Yes, I am a hardcore Brazil fan and after semifinal my heart is also injured.

Hope he will get well soon. 

My most of the times now go with my new passion, Crochet. 



So everything is just going on. No spark, no charm, nothing at all. 



Now leave it. Put all your frustrations behind and it is time for a new (obviously the most stupid idea to call it a new) dish. Ta da.... presenting Chicken Stew.....

This is not my invention, the whole curtsy goes to my mother(IL). Sam loves it because it is very light for your tummy and I like it because it is very easy and less time consuming. 

All you need are ____

• Chicken - I used around 750 grams
• Potatoes - 4 peeled and cut into halves
• Cabbage - 2 leaves
• Tomato - 1 chopped
• Onion - 1 large
• Green Chili - 2 
• Beans - 2
• Capsicum - 1/4 th of 1

You may add any kind of veggies if you want. Oh I forgot to mention few more things..

• Butter - 1 tbsp (or more)
• Ginger paste - 1/2 tsp
• Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp 
• Green Cardamom - 2
• Cinnamon stick - 1 inch
• Cloves - 2
• Salt to taste
• Sugar- 1/4 tsp

You have to marinate your chicken pieces with ginger paste and Turmeric powder for 10 minutes.

Now follow all the steps like the picture. Okay let me guide you for 1st time. 

1. Take a pressure cooker. Add the butter, heat it, add green cardamom, cinnamon stick and cloves. Let the smell out but take care of the butter or it will burn.
2. Add all the veggies and stir them for 2-4 minutes.
3. Add the marinated chicken.
4. Stir them for another 4-5 minutes.
5. Add water (as much as you need your soup), salt and sugar.
6. Cover the cooker and cook until your chicken is done.

Please don't hesitate to share if you have another ideas.
