Thai Chicken Curry Stew
November 13, 2007
Hello Fellow Foodies!
I hope this email finds you all well! Perhaps I decided to start a food blog so I can stop bugging all my friends on Email/MySpace every time I get a new and exciting idea!
Although I have a ton of work to do reading thesis papers for a committee I volunteered for this week, I decided to make a chicken stew tonight! I started out with the idea of a plain chicken stew, but I didn't want to use any starches, so decided to get creative as to what I would add to the stew.
The end result is a Thai curry stew (that is what I am calling it, as I made it up). It includes mushrooms, onions, scallions, fresh cilantro, chicken (what is a chicken stew without chicken), a bag of frozen Asian veggies (water chestnuts, mini corn, snow peas, yellow and orange carrots, sprouts, etc), Channa Dal (a kind of lentil), green curry paste, a can of coconut milk and chicken broth. Now I let it stew for a couple hours until it thickens. And to top it off, dumplings? NO! I am going to throw in cubes of extra firm tofu instead!
YUMMY! I can't wait to try it and hope it will be as good as I think it should be (this one may rival the famous cowboy stew). It is super healthy as it has all those veggies, and besides the protein from the Channa Dal, tofu and the chicken, the Channa Dal also adds lots of fiber! Not to mention the way the chillies in the curry will get the metabolism revved up!
As most of you know, I don't measure anything when I make stuff up. I do it all to taste, so feel free to steal this idea and make it yourself. Let me know what you think!
Bon Apetit! Hugs, Christine
