Goan Chicken Stew is a delicately flavoured stew which has chicken and vegetables in it. A very tasty stew which is best served with rice. A bowl of piping hot stew is always comforting with steamed rice, during any weather.

This stew does not have the strong flavour of garam masala, and the spice is from the pepper powder, coriander powder and cumin powder.

This Goan style chicken stew can also be served with idiyappam, appam and dosa. There are many variations of Goan stew, this is my way of making a simple and delicious goan stew using chicken.

Serve Goan Chicken Stew with Goan Style Sana Recipe (Soft Steamed Rice Cakes) or hot steamed rice for a perfect weekday meal.
