Curry chicken! (or chicken curry, whichever way you want it)

[The Road to Nowhere (Soffia style)] – grandissimo ZOT’s on Flickr, 23rd May ‘07.

Chicken curry for today : ) Tastes good, especially when you know you were the one who cooked it ;p If you look at the photograph, the top looks a little sticky; that’s probably because it’s begun to cool down and congeal. Thanks to SJ jie’s mum who left us the curry powder, and ZM for his tips via MSN. He confirmed a few of the stuff that I was suspecting I should be putting in : )

Anyway, recipe as follows:

• 1 kg of chicken drumsticks
• 5 small potatoes, cut into big quarters
• 4 small carrots, cut into big portions
• 2 teaspoons of curry powder
• 300ml of skim milk (no coconut milk in the house)
• half a cube of chicken stock
• a handful of cornstarch
• a dash of soy sauce
• a dash of salt

Disclaimer: this part is very important. Make sure you get a pot big enough to hold everything : )

Throw the potatoes, chicken and carrots into the pot, and add enough water to cover them. Dump the curry powder and milk in after that, and start the fire. Add the rest of the stuff in after the bubbling starts. Use a low fire on it, stir the contents every five to ten minutes. I cooked for about an hour and a half, it’s up to your judgement to see if it’s ready. So long as it tastes right, and the potatoes are softened up nicely, it’s ready : )

I took two tries to get this right (the first potato curry was ugh.. don’t ask) ;p So if a newbie like me can get this right, you shouldn’t have any problems.
