Chicken and Potato Curry
There is a staple dish at every home and at my home Chicken Curry and Potatoes is a staple dish. My family love to have this curry with some Peas Pilau. The dish is extremely simple and flavourful. It sums up as a complete comfort food. You may add some peas to the curry if you like too. Chicken Curry and Potatoes is definitely the ultimate comfort food and can also be enjoyed with Chapatis but I prefer serving it with some Pilau or Rice.
