Step 1

Season raw chicken legs with salt, turmeric powder, and black pepper powder. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes. (Go to the next step.)

Step 2

Chop the onion. In the pot (not a pan!), saute the walnut and onion while adding the turmeric powder slowly to the mix. After the onion's color changes, add 3 glasses of water and let the mixture boil for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the tomato paste to the pot and let the stew boil for 20 minutes. From now on stir the stew every 20 minutes or so.

Step 4

Add the rest of the salt, lime juice, sugar, and pomegranate sauce. Go to the next step.

Step 5

Fry chicken legs on high heat until the skin turns brown. (Do not use low heat as it will make the chicken dry later. Do not worry about food safety, as the chicken will cook for a long time in boiling water.) Let the fried chicken sit for a couple of minutes, we will get back to them soon.

Step 6

Add the fried chicken to the stew.
