In a pan with a non-stick coating, melt melted butter, add a little vegetable oil for frying. Ghee is an excellent product for cooking delicious dishes, it does not stick, so it is considered indispensable in Indian cuisine.
Chicken fillet wash, dry with paper towel. Cut the meat across the fibers in small cubes, throw in a pre-heated pan, fry over high heat.
When the filet grabs it will turn white and slightly fried, add finely chopped onions. Instead of bulb leek or shallot. In spring and summer you can use the bright part of the stem of green onions.
We continue to fry the meat with onions until the onions become transparent.
We clean the squash and pumpkin from the peel and seeds. Pulp vegetables cut into small cubes of the same size. Throw sliced vegetables in the pan.
Pumpkin varieties matter, some varieties are better suited for extinguishing - the flesh does not spread out during heat treatment.
Next, add homemade squash adjika or tomato puree. Instead of ready-made sauces, you can chop a pair of ripe tomatoes in a blender until smooth.
Cook the stew on low heat, stirring occasionally. Fifteen minutes before the readiness we pour in hops-suneli, sweet paprika, salt and pepper to your taste.
Sprinkle the prepared stew with fresh herbs, mix, heat and remove from the stove. From the greenery I will recommend celery and parsley, if you like a neutral taste. Green basil or cilantro will give the dish an original flavor.
On the table we serve autumn stew for zucchini, pumpkin and chicken with fresh bread or wheat flat cake every day. Enjoy your meal!
