Chicken white stew recipe—Kolkata cabin-style Bengali chicken stew—Kolkata street food

Chicken stew recipe: Chicken stew is a firm favourite among office-goers in Calcutta, especially in the central business district of Dalhousie. Go to Chitta babu’r dokan (shop) on Dacre’s lane at any time of the day and you will find the wooden benches on the sides of the lane filled with workers taking a quick break over stew, buttered toast, and tea. The YMCA canteen in College street on the other hand pulls a younger crowd of mostly university students. If you are looking for a chicken stew in a more relaxed environment, you can amble into Cafe in Bhawanipur later in the evening. They serve a delicious brown stew every day of the week except on Thursdays, when they serve a special white stew. It is the perfect spot for catching up with a friend.

Our chicken stew recipe is loosely based on the mutton white stew recipe that we came across in Renuka Debi Choudhurani’s “Rakamari Amish Ranna”. We have also added elements from the different stews that we like in the city. Give this a try while the vegetables are in season!
