Chicken with Potato

Chicken with Potato

This simple chicken curry is probably the most favourite in Eastern India and it’s like the staple non-vegetarian only curry that is generally served at dinner, small restaurants, weddings, Sunday afternoons, picnics, etc. I can go on naming. So, you will always meet this half-mashed potato with chicken during your visits in this part the country.

The dish is not over spiced but mildly hot. Goes well on a hot summer day with lesser spices and during the winter, spice it up! The dish is comforting and can be served with rice and any kind of flat breads, even a bread loaf. The dish is also cost saving and tricky when people serve 2 chicken pieces with 3 same sized of potatoes.
