Chicken stew with soymilk and powdered flax

Ingredients:
Chicken, cut into medium-size pieces - 1 lb
Onion, sliced - 1/2 of a large one
Basil, chopped - 2 stalks
Thai red chillies, sliced lengthwise - 4 or to taste
Coriander powder or garam masala powder - 1.5 tbsp or to taste
Flax powder - 1/4-1/3 cup
Soy milk, unsweetened - 1-2 cups depending on thickness desired
Mustard oil (regular vegetable oil will also do) - 1.5 tbsp
Salt - 1 tsp (adjust to taste)
Mushrooms, cut into pieces - 1-1.5 cups (optional)
Tofu, cubed and lightly fried - 1/2 lb (optional, replace with diced carrots and/or potatoes)

Time: about 30 min.
Servings: 3-4.

Method:
Heat the oil and add the red chillies and basil. Fry for a minute and add the chicken pieces and stir to coat well. After 5 minutes, add the onions and mushrooms. Mix well and fry on a medium flame until the onions are golden brown, the mushrooms lose their moisture, and the oil separates. Add coriander powder (or garam masala) and salt, mix for a minute. Add the soy milk and bring to a boil. Bring heat down to medium and mix in the flax powder. Add the tofu pieces and simmer for 5-10 minutes. Garnish with lemon juice and chopped coriander leaves. Enjoy with rice or on its own.
