Recipe: Dry Chicken Curry with Potatoes

We are slowly introducing spicy food into our children's diet. And they are taking it really well. :) One of the first spicy dishes we made for them is this dry chicken curry with potatoes. You can reduce or increase the amount of curry powder you add to this dish, depending on how spicy you like it.

This is an easy curry dish to prepare at home; last week we even made some extra so that we can have a curry puff wrapping session at home with the kids (recipe here).  We usually serve our chicken curry with rice, fried eggs, cucumber and a stir fried vegetable.
