بسم الله الرحمـــن الرحيم

Yes, I managed to get some light to shoot this picture..which makes me feel satisfied..:)

Ok, I've to ramble a bit about the dish I am posting, chicken stew is one of the essential dishes in our immediate family, and by that I mean my house, my parents' house and my in-law's house :)...

It is also one of the main dishes that woman who just gave birth will have..almost everyday,,but with extra pepper in...alone or with rice..

Ingredients:

2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into four pieces
