Chicken Legs – 8 to 10
Potatoes – 6 small Yukon Gold or Red
Curry Powder – 2 Tablespoons (medium heap)
Cumin – ½ Teaspoon
Turmeric Powder – ½ Teaspoon
Garlic – 4-5 cloves
Onion – 1 small cooking
Cilantro – ¼ bunch
Thyme – fresh 3-4 sprigs
Habanero Pepper – 1 (use sparingly according to taste)
Salt – ½ Teaspoon
Oyster Sauce – 2 Tablespoons
Cooking Oil – 2 Tablespoons
Water – 1½ Cup
Lime – 1
Preparation:
- Combine cilantro, thyme, onion, garlic and salt in a mini chopper and blend together. Set this aside.
- Wash chicken with lime, pat dry with paper towel and put it in a bowl.
- Add the seasoning from the mini chopper to the chicken; add the oyster sauce.
- Mix well, cover and put it in the refrigerator to marinate for up to 6 hours.
- Peel potatoes and cut evenly to desired size.
- In a small bowl with ¼ cup of water, add the curry powder, turmeric and cumin. Mix well.
- Place the pot on the stove with medium heat.
- Add the cooking oil and wait until the oil it is hot.
- Add the curry mixture.
- Sauté until the mixture looks dry, like it is ready to stick to the pot.
- Add a ¼ cup of water and stir until it becomes a liquid curry paste.
- Wait until it looks dry again – like it is ready to stick to the pot.
- Add the potatoes. Cover and sauté for 5-10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Add the marinated chicken, stir and cover for about ½ hour. Stir occasionally.
- When the chicken looks like it is ready to stick to the pot, add 1 cup of water (more if you need plenty sauce). OK to add chicken stock instead of water.
- Add habanero pepper to taste – start with a small piece.
- Bring to boil and cook for an additional 15 minutes. Enjoy!
