Chicken soup (chicken on bones in garlic broth )

Clean and wash the chicken pieces and put them in a pressure cooker. Add water and let it boil without the lid in place.
Add salt and immediately the scum will rise to the top.
Remove the scum and add garlic and pepper powder.
Put the lid in place and after the cooker lets out one whistle, switch off the gas.
Let the pressure in the cooker reduce on its own.
Remove the lid and add the vegetables
In a small bowl, mix the corn flour and 3 tbsp water and make a paste.
Put the pressure cooker on the gas-stove and add the corn paste while stirring gently
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from fire.
Serve in individual bowls along side bread or steamed rice.


Note: If you prefer the vegetables crunchy, add the vegetables during the end of the preparation. If you prefer softer veggies, cook them along with the chicken.

Note: If you intend to cook veggies with the chicken, dice them in large chunks to avoid them getting over-cooked.

Note: If you are not using pressure cooker, add the vegetables half way through so that they do not get over cooked.
