Notes

For the best flavor, use freshly roasted green chilies if available, as they add an authentic smoky taste to the stew. Adjust the level of spice by choosing mild, medium, or hot chilies according to your preference. Cooking the stew slowly allows the flavors to meld beautifully, resulting in a rich and hearty dish.
