And this is how it is done:
Roast both kernel varieties together in a hot pan for about two minutes and set aside. After cooling, grind finely in a blender.
Simply cover the chicken breasts with salted water and simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes. If using fresh tomatoes, add them too. Remove the chicken thighs from the pot with a slotted spoon and set aside. Now put the tomatoes in the blender.
Reserve four cups of broth. Discard or freeze the rest. Pour the chopped tomatoes into the pot. Now puree one cup of broth along with coriander and add the mixture to the tomatoes.
Now we cut the vegetables, garlic and jalapenos and sauté them in olive oil. Then puree with a cup of broth in a blender and pour into a pot.
Now add the ground seeds in the pot to the mixture. So do the remaining cups of gravy. Bring everything to a wave. Lower the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, peel the meat from the thighs, cut it into small pieces and add it to the pot with salt and pepper. Boil everything together for another ten minutes.
Meanwhile, cut the garnish as desired and place a corn tortilla or wrap per person on a deep dish. Place the finished stew on top, serve with the garnish and a lime wedge.
