Ingredients

1inch ginger, pounded

6 cloves garlic, pounded

1 medium onion, sliced and pounded

1T oil or more as necessary

½ t turmeric

1t chili powder (or more to taste)

2-3 chicken legs, deboned and medium dice

2-3 potatoes, medium dice

salt or fish sauce to taste

Directions

Prepare the curry gravy by pounding the ginger, garlic and onions in a mortar and pestle. Heat the oil and add the turmeric and chili powder. Add the ginger, garlic and onions and sweat. Add the tomatoes, sauté a couple minutes. 1 T of tomato puree can be substituted for the fresh tomatoes.

Add the chicken and allow to cook about 10-15 minutes. Add salt or fish sauce to taste.

Dark chicken meat is much better for this dish than is chicken breast as it is allowed to stew for a little while. In Myanmar they prefer to leave the bone in and chop the legs up into chunks. The marrow from the bone adds flavor to the meal.

Believe me it is! Also, this curry is really delicious when you make it with pumpkin chunks as a vegetarian version. Which is fantastic also.
