INFO & TIPS

🌟 NOTES BY
FOODEVA MARSAY🌟
✔ I also make a Chicken Curry with the above recipe, using 1 whole chicken cut into pieces.
 ✔If making a Chicken Curry lightly sprinkle on some Garam Masala over the top of Curry when cooking is done.
 ✔Remember not to rush through cooking, it may seem a slow process but end results are so worth it.
 ✔Use Indian spices for an authentic Curry flavour, preferably as stated above and not a “curry mix spice” , ingredients are readily available at an Indian Grocer or as is seen more often these days, in your local supermarket.
 ✔For a more spicier version, you could use more Chillie Powder and/or add fresh green chillies toward the end of cooking.
✔Worry not if the Oil seems to float a lot on top, you can simply spoon away the excess.
 ✔You may also add other vegetables of choice to the curry, like peas, or some may prefer NO potatoes and it would be fine without as well.

Servings: 4-6
