Christmas Eve lunch. 

The initial plan was to make a simple gravvy using the stock I had from cooking all the chickens my husband brought from the farm yesterday. Then I remembered I had some vegetables that would waste if I don’t cook them today. I’d be spending Christmas with my parents and they would be no good by the time I return.

So here I have Fried Chicken in Vegetable gravy which we had with Basmati Rice. 

This is one of those recipes I practically eye balled , so I’d try to give a close enough recipe. 

Recipe. 

• 2 cups Chicken Stock

• 1/2 Cup flour

• 1 tbsp dark soy sauce

• 2 tbsp Tomato ketchup (*absolutely optional, i just wanted my broth to be darker) 

• 1 tbsp Cayenne Pepper 

• 10 pieces of fried chicken 

• 1/2 cup water 

• 2 cups of mixed chopped vegetables (use your vegetables of choice)

Procedure.

• Mix half cup of flour with half cup of water.
• Place a pot on medium heat, add stock, warm it up and slowly pour in flour mixture. Stir while you pour.
• Add the pepper, soy sauce, and *ketchup and let it simmer. 
• Add your chicken to the broth, and cook on medium heat with lid on for 5 minutes. Cook with the chunky vegetables e.g Carrots and Potatoes 
• Add the rest of the  vegetables, don’t  cook longer than a minute. Turn off the heat.
