Madagascan coconut chicken (Akoho sy voanio)

Malagasy coconut chicken , called Akoho sy voanio in Malagasy, is a typical dish of Madagascar, especially in the coastal regions. This gluten-free recipe, with its ginger and coconut aromas, is perfect for a family meal. Served with plain or fragrant rice, it makes a complete and balanced meal. In Malagasy cuisine, this dish is often served at weddings, but it's also suitable for everyday meals. I really enjoyed its aroma and creamy texture, perhaps because I'm a coconut fan. If you are too, then try this gluten-free Malagasy recipe without delay.
