Ingredients:

  • chicken thighs 6 (or 4 big chicken legs); diced (and deboned – skin ON
  • 1 large potato diced
  • 6 tomatoes
  • 2 onions
  • 12 mushrooms quartered (half a pack ish)
  • tomato paste 3 tsp
  • curry powder 1TBS
  • stock 1 pint
  • coconut milk 1/2 can (6 fl. oz)

Methods:

  1.  Fry potatoes for 5 mins, remove to a small pan, add a small amount of stock to barely cover – simmer in medium heat
  2. Place chicken, skin side down into the oil from frying the potatoes and cook on high/medium heat – till skin browns (takes about 7 mins?)
  3. spoon off excess oil, and turn chicken so skin side faces upwards
  4. pour just enough stock into the pan so only the chicken meat is submersed in the stock i.e. the crispy skin is not soaked in stock – and lies just about the stock level – simmer for 10 min, (can add the potatoes and rest of potato stock if any left)
  5. remove chicken and potatoes from pan, and add tomatoes, tomato paste, curry, mushroom, onions and any remaining stock – simmer till sauce thickens – roughly about 10 mins
  6. stir in coconut milk and return potatoes and chicken – heat for 5 mins
