#reststyle - This yummy Kerala style hearty Chicken Stew is often served in restaurants along with appam or idiyappam. Very easy and healthy, it is a perfect meal to be enjoyed. It is in fact a one-pot wonder that can be relished as a light meal too. It is very light on the tummy and the creamy texture from the coconut milk gives it a rich and an aromat flavour with a hint of sweetness.
