Curry Chicken
What is a good dhal puri without a little curry chicken at the side? That's the question I asked myself when we were making the dhal puri. So I decided to make some, since I didn't post that recipe as yet. So here it is nice and simple; so simple I nearly didn't think of it as a recipe to post, but then, what is second nature for me may not be so with someone else. I always have to remind myself of that.
You may have to excuse some of the conventions I used for the recipe because I used the chicken parts that come in those little trays, and then I separated the ingredients because I had to season the meat first. This will give you an idea of how we season the meat before currying. I hope you enjoy this simple recipe for curry chicken.

Check the water level in the pot occasionally.
You don't want the water drying out before time.
Here we have the finished curry chicken. I did it a little dry (bonje) but if you want
you could leave a little water for sauce.
