Notes

  1. I have used rice flour for more healthier reason, if not available you can use cornflour.
  2. Potato can be used instead of flour and slightly mashed them. This will thicken the stew.
  3. You can add veggies of your choice and which is in season.
  4. You can use fresh herbs or mixed dried herbs, its taste amazing .
  5. If you cannot source sichuan peppercorns, you can use coriander leaves and cracked black peppercorns.
     
  6. If you are using country chicken cooking time will be more.
