Directions
-
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced ginger and crushed garlic, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
-
Add the sliced onions to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they become soft and translucent.
-
Sprinkle in the chickpea flour, stirring quickly to coat the onions and cook out the raw flour taste for about 1 minute.
-
Add the diced green apple, ground cumin, ground coriander, diced tomatoes, bay leaf, black pepper, and ground red pepper. Stir well to combine all flavors.
-
Pour in the chicken stock, stirring to dissolve any lumps from the chickpea flour. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
-
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 45 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the vegetables to break down.
-
Remove from heat and carefully transfer the mixture to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
-
Return the blended stew to the pot. Stir in the shredded cooked chicken and optional boiled rice if using.
-
Warm through gently for 2-3 minutes without boiling. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
