Cooking instructions

* Step 1

On a double pot to steam, put the base pot with water, on the second pot put the butternut chunks on a second pot, and let it steams 8'or until half cooked, not to overcook. Turn off the heat, remove, transfer into a dish, set aside. Then put the green French Beans, let it half cook for 10' then remove, transfer into a big plate and set aside.

* Step 2

In a small pot, put plenty of water to boil the sliced Choko, put a pinch of salt and cook until well soft perhaps it took 20' or until soft.

* Step 3

In a big pot put 1 cup of oil, heat then add the onions, stir fry 2' then add the capsicums, stir fry 2 ' then add the tomatoes, carrots, garlic, ginger, salt & stir fry for further 2'. Then add the warm water from the kettle, to fill half pot. Let it boil then add the chicken, salt, black pepper,nutmeg,the herbs: 4 basils leaves chopped, Rosemary, 4 lemon leaves teared off the edges.Once the water boil, lower the temp, cover,simmer for 12' or Turn off the heat

* Step 4

Remove the chicken & place them onto a big plate, then try to de-bone the meat, shredded the meat into big pieces. Then put them back into the big pot. Add the half cooked squash, choko, and the green beans. Turn the heat on, once boil then lower the temp, cover the pot and let it simmer for a short time, about 5' or the veggies are just cook. I dont like to overcook them. Taste the seasoning. Then turn off the heat, remove the pot.discard the lemon leaves.
