Akoho sy voanio

Akoho sy voanio or poulet au coco is a traditional chicken dish originating from Madagascar. It's made with a combination of chicken pieces, coconut milk, tomatoes, onions, lemon juice, ginger, garlic, cayenne pepper, and seasonings such as salt and pepper. The meat is marinated in the lemon juice with salt and pepper, and it's then placed into a pan with sautéed onions and garlic. When the chicken is nearly done, the heat is reduced and the tomatoes and ginger are added to the pan, along with coconut milk. The dish is simmered until the sauce thickens and the meat is tender and fully cooked. Akoho sy voanio must be stirred during cooking, and once done, it's traditionally served with white rice on the side. The dish is especially popular during the festive Christmas season.
