Though Chicken stew is a slow cooker recipe, but yesterday I was running out of time so I prepared it in my pressure pan. And it came out pretty good. This is my mother's recipe which I often prepare with lots of vegetables but this time I chose to prepare only with potatoes. The spices used in this recipe is quite simple and are mostly available in your kitchen. Though it is my mother's recipe but as I like to experiment and like to develop new recipes, I gave a small addition to it and it was fried onion paste which gave body and texture to the gravy. Firstly, I marinated the chicken pieces with some ginger garlic paste, yoghurt and some dry spices, then I sautéed the onions, added the marinated chicken, onion paste, diced potatoes and water pressure cooked it to 2-3 whistles and its done. So easy and simple. This is again one of my cheat recipe.
As chicken is high on protein, and helps in body building. If this dish is served with steamed rice, it will be a complete meal in itself. However if you are on diet you can completely skip the brown onion paste and add any vegetables of your choice. People who are now ketone diet. This recipe which be of great help to them.

At this point check for seasoning and adjust according. Put the lid of the pressure pan/cooker and cook till 2-3 whistles over a medium heat. (Every pressure pan is different so cook accordingly.
