Recipe Tips And Notes
Don’t cut your potatoes too small or they will fall apart. Waxy potatoes (like Charlotte or red potatoes), rather than floury potatoes (Maris Piper or Russet), are more likely to hold their shape and are what I grab for.
But if you don’t have the choice, go ahead with any potatoes you have potatoes. Floury potatoes that fall apart will help to make the sauce thicker, which may be more what you are looking for.
Both skinless boneless chicken thighs or breasts could be used here. I prefer thighs as they are cheaper and add more flavour.
Shrimp or fish could also be used to make this a fish curry. Be careful not to burn the garlic when added along with the onions. Burnt garlic has a bitter taste that can permeate a dish, and not in a good way.
Storage And Leftovers
This curry can be frozen and it reheats beautifully. It’s very easy to double the recipe and freeze half of it for the nights when you truly need a takeout because you just can’t imagine cooking!
It can be warmed up in a microwave or on a stovetop over medium-high heat. Add a splash of water if it seems to be a bit too thick.
