Chicken Stew {Kerala style}

Breakfast is an elaborate affair for Keralites. Our authentic breakfast items are wholesome and filling though they may not be easy as flipping an omelette or tipping some cereal into a bowl! Most dishes require prep work and planning to be executed the day before... but they are absolutely awesome :D

Back in the olden days at my home, when there is a super special lunch preparation happening in the kitchen, a coconut milk based stew is prepared for breakfast as it is quick and tasty. Only on such days would a bakery bought bread make it to our special menu! Gone are those days and now bread is quite regular in most households. Appam's are more sought after with stew, but with time and resource crunch, people find the easy way out in bread ;) You should definitely try this chicken stew for its simplicity yet rich & creamy taste.

Nowadays stew has become part of my special breakfast menu! On such days I take it up a notch by making beautiful flower shaped appams to go along with the stew. On not so special days, it is bread that makes it to the table with a steaming pot of creamy stew!
