This is something that my Grandma used to make when I was growing up. It's a fantastic comfort food and easy to make, too.


4 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 garlic cloves, crushed
3 medium onions, sliced lengthwise
2 large chicken breasts, boned and cut in 2 inch pieces or 6 chicken thighs, bone in
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 cup water
3 medium potatoes, cubed
1 tablespoon cornstarch, mixed with
1 tablespoon water
Directions:

1
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy pot over high heat, about 30 seconds. Add garlic; fry until brown. Add onions; stir fry 3 minutes. Remove onions and set aside.
2
Heat remaining oil in pot. Add chicken and curry powder. Stir fry 3 minutes. Add sugar, salt, soy sauce and water. Mix in potatoes (or you can add it carrots too). Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and cover. Simmer 20 minutes.
3
Mix in onions. Cover and simmer 10 minutes longer. Stir cornstarch and water mixture into chicken. Boil 1 minute or until thick.

  18. Hi cquek,

    I love cooking using traditional mum or grandma recipes. Your curry looks great! You are lucky that you have your grandma's recipes. I'm a little too late and didn't manage to inherit any recipes from my mum and grandma :(
