Bengali Chicken Curry with Potatoes

Recipe Description

This Authentic Bengali Chicken Curry with Potatoes has a very unique and subtle flavor because of the few amount of spices used to create it. Most spices, such as cayenne, curry powder, cumin, and turmeric, can easily be found in most of your kitchens at home, already.

A recipe which I brought back from my travels to India and I love serving at my dinner parties. The prep time is not too long and the hour on the stove-top fills the house with amazing aromas, before everyone arrives. Served with traditional white basmati rice and chapatis, my friends all love this feel-good, home-cooked, family-style, chicken curry.

To make Bengali Chicken Curry with Potatoes, you will need the following ingredients:
