• Seasoning: Ladaku (or other chili seasoning), Royco chicken seasoning

Steps:

2. Add Spices and Vegetables: Introduce the ground spices and whole spice blend into the pot. Add the carrots and potatoes, allowing them to cook until they are tender.

4. Final Touches: Once the meat is tender and the vegetables are cooked through, add the spring onions, celery leaves, and diced tomatoes. Cook for a few more minutes until the greens are wilted and the tomatoes have softened.

5. Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls, garnishing with fried shallots and a side of sambal for added spice. Enjoy while hot for the best experience!
