Saffron Chicken Kebobs

If you want to make this recipe extra special, you can add a couple of tablespoons of heavy...

Kerala Chicken Stew

Kerala (meaning, land of coconuts) is a south Indian state known for its beautiful pristine beaches and backwaters. Seafood and coconut based recipes are plenty in Kerala. Most of the inhabitants of Kerala are Christian, and eating meat is prevalent in this region. This recipe reminds me of Chicken Pot Pie, which is my favorite American entree. This recipe is one of the easy stews from Kerala. I make this recipe with regular organic coconut milk. Thai Kitchen is the best brand of coconut milk, or Trader Joe's organic coconut milk is a close substitute. You can change the vegetables based upon what you have in the refrigerator. If you want to substitute chicken, then red meat or pork works...
