Cooking Instructions

1. Season the Chicken

In a bowl, season the organic chicken with garlic paste, mixed spices, pepper mix, and

salt. Allow it to marinate for 15–20 minutes.

2. Cook the Chicken

Place the chicken in a pot with a little water and cook until tender. Set aside the stock.

3.Prepare the Stew Base

Heat palm oil in a pot. Add tomato paste and stir gently over low heat to remove raw

taste.

4. Build Flavor

Add garlic paste, chilli pepper flakes, and chicken stock. Stir and simmer for 10–15

minutes until thick and rich.

5. Combine & Simmer

Add cooked chicken and allow the stew to simmer for another 10 minutes so flavors fully

combine.
