Maraq Digaag is a chicken soup/stew made with potatoes, tomatoes, and ginger. It involves an extended period of time to cook all these elements in various flavors. The dish is served hot with toast and will certainly hypnotize you.
Steps to make Maraq Digaag:
- Step 1. Onions, green peppers, cilantro, and tomatoes should all be coarsely chopped before blending. Potatoes and carrots should both be diced.
- Step 2. Combine the oil and xawaash in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Add the chicken chunks immediately after.
- Step 3. You will want to avoid burning the spices. After approximately 2 minutes, brown the chicken and add the veggie seasoning.
- Step 4. In the same saucepan, throw in the chopped potatoes and carrots, followed by the mixed vegetables.
- Step 5. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes before adding the tomatoes and water.
- Step 6. You might want to add 2 tablespoons of solid butter or ghee (but this is optional).
