Hearty Surinamese Braised Chicken Kebabs

Assemble the ingredients: chicken, carrot, lemon juice, black pepper, chili, paprika, water.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the chicken and cook until braised.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Surinamese flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Surinamese accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
