Chicken Curry

saw some very nicely chopped chicken drumstick
so hand itchy feel like making Chicken Curry

.
from here u can see:
shallot, garlic, ginger, curry leaves, mixed spices

pound garlic, shallot & ginger
then kumpulkan the rest of the ingredients:
chicken (marinate with pepper & soy sauce),
diced potato (i boiled first), curry powder
the steps r so damn complicated
which made me so pening...
n i think it's not very right too
but some how i followed lor...
*heat up a bit of oil to fry mixed spices until fragrant
*add curry leaves n pounded ingredient n fry
(fuiyo... the smell can kill from here liao)
*add in chicken cubes to fry for 1 minute
*pour water n sprinkle salt, cook for 10 minutes
*add potato & curry powder cook for another 15 minutes
*i hand itchy add in a bit of low fat milk
to reduce the spiciness because my snakie
cannot take too spicy food
*boil for another 5 minutes n serve
nice nice chicken curry meal for dinner
i really dun like this recipe
although the aroma can kills
gonna try to cook it my way next time

the gravy is too thick on the above pics
so i took this layman pic to show the chicken
the meat was really nice though...

Bon Appétit!
