Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent and begin to brown, stirring occasionally for about 5-7 minutes.

  2. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Continue to cook for another 2 minutes until the mixture becomes fragrant.

  3. Add the vegetarian chicken pieces to the pot and gently mix them with the onion mixture. Let the ingredients cook together for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  4. Pour in the water and bring the stew to a gentle simmer. Cover the pot with a lid and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the vegetarian chicken to absorb the flavors of the broth.

  5. Season the stew with turmeric, coriander, fenugreek, cardamom, salt, and pepper. Stir well to ensure that the spices are evenly distributed throughout the stew.

  6. Let the Doro Alicha Vegetarian Chicken Stew simmer on low heat for another 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to develop and the stew to thicken slightly.

  7. Once the stew reaches your desired consistency and the flavors have melded beautifully, remove it from the heat.

  8. Serve the Doro Alicha Vegetarian Chicken Stew hot, garnished with fresh cilantro leaves for a burst of brightness and freshness.
