The Indian Dinner Series: Episode 3 - Chicken and Potato Curry

Yumm!!! Oh my gosh you guys. I know I've been gushing for weeks about how much I love indian food and how NOT sorry I am for giving you guys a month of recipes for it, but this one is just phenomenal. It's not my grandma's, but it's definitely delicious! It's full of savory spices with not too much heat. With a cup of rice, it's just amazing!

One of the things I love about curry is that it's so versatile. Pick a meat, pick a vegetable, add some potatoes, add some rice, you've got a meal. It's also one of those great meals that you cane an abundance of and have great leftovers for days with! And they're great reheated too! Let's get started, shall we?

The first thing you'll need to do is heat some oil in a very large skillet and saute the onions for 2 minutes, then drop in the chicken pieces and fry for another 2 minutes.

Then drop in your curry paste, with 2 T of water to make sure that you don't burn your paste. Stir it all up and mix it around so the paste coats the chicken evenly.

Then drop in your tomatoes, potatoes, and water and stir those in entirely.

Then cover the entire skillet, and let it simmer for a good 30 minutes! I took this time to clean up the giant mess I had made with all the other recipes I had on my plate that day. And then I made rice :)

Yum. :)
