Chicken stew has been one of the most loved family dinner during winters while growing up. It would mean two things - happily fed tummies and a blissful motherly soul knowing that her child has eaten all the veggies
She would slyly beetroot for that lovely pinkish colour which would alure me to finish up my meals. In Bombay when the weather is very humid or hot most of the times chicken stew is usually enjoyed in the AC but now that we have a slight nip in the air chicken stew is enjoyed in its natural form and with the lovely vegetables that's available right now it's like a bonus. I usually like my chicken stew to be white in colour which is more Kolkata style but in this one my mother has added A Pinch of turmeric to make it more immunity boosting as all of us had been Down with terrible cough and cold . So here do enjoy one of my very very favourite dinner recipe from my mother's kitchen. Love and peace from our kitchen to yours
