“Steemit Big Chef05”[04-05-2024](Potato with chicken broth)

Hello everyone! How are you all? I am fine, by the grace of Allah. Alhamdulillah. First of all thanks to @chant for arranging such a nice cooking contest. Today, I am participating in The Steem Cameroon community contest Contest!! “Steemit Big Chef05”(The Meal of the Week that Keeps you Yearning for More)//. I am very happy to participate in this cooking contest. So let's start.

Chicken is my favorite food. My kids also love to eat chicken, so I cook any item with chicken. This week, I cooked chicken broth with potatoes.

I did not order this food from the restaurant. I cooked this recipe with great pleasure in my kitchen at home. Because chicken curry is very delicious to eat. If it is homemade food, then there is no question.

I love this dish because many aromatic spices are used while cooking it. The mixture of turmeric, chili, coriander, and cumin powder creates a wonderful, pleasant texture. Moreover, the pieces of chicken meat are juicy with spices, which makes the tongue water. When I bite into a piece of my favorite chicken, I feel it tastes so good that I want to eat more.

This is what I needed to cook. Chicken,

• potatoes
• onion paste
• garlic paste
• ginger paste
• bay leaves
• cinnamon
• cardamom
• cumin powder
• coriander powder
• chili powder
• turmeric powder
• garam masala powder
• and salt.

First, I wash and clean the meat and potatoes. Then put a pan on the stove and put enough oil in it.

Then I put the garam masalas in the oil. Then I cooked it for a while with onion, garlic, ginger paste, and salt.

After the raw smell of the masalas went away, I added the powdered masalas. Then grind the spices well with a little water.

Once the masala is ground, mix it well with the chicken pieces and cover it for some time. So that the water comes out of the meat.

When the water has come out of the meat, at this stage I put potatoes in the meat. When the meat and potatoes are well coated with spices, cover them with a lid. I reduced the heat of the stove completely so that the curry did not burn.

After a while, the lid was removed and stirred a little. When the water in the curry is completely dry, I cover it again with a little water so that the potatoes are cooked well.

When the potatoes and meat are cooked, I add them to the curry. After adding the curry broth, I covered it with a lid. After some time I reduced the flame on the stove and burned it for another five minutes. After the curry becomes thick, I take it off the stove. This is how my potato chicken broth is made.

There is an incident from a long time ago about this chicken curry of mine. The first time I cooked chicken with potatoes after my marriage. I started cooking as per my mother-in-law's instructions. But once I saw that the color was not coming into the curry after cooking. I think curries looked so good when my mother used to cook them. Red and broth were broth. So I thought that the chili powder was less so I replaced one spoon with three spoons of chili. So that the color of the curry looks beautiful. I finished cooking and prepared the food on the table. Then everyone came and sat down to eat. The color of the curry was very good. Everyone thought that today's cooking would be very good. But it was not going to be taken orally for spice. There was so much red chili that this curry could not be eaten. I still remember this incident while cooking chicken curry.

A combination of chicken and potatoes is considered a balanced diet. Chicken contains protein and potatoes contain carbohydrates. Food cooked with a mixture of these two ingredients will help in energy and maintenance in the body. Carbohydrates are very beneficial for our body. Moreover, doctors say to eat protein food every day. Many people cannot eat protein foods because of physical ailments. It is better to eat less protein.
