  • 3 nos potatoes quartered


  • 2 nos carrots, sliced

Directions

  • Deep fry potatoes separately until golden brown. I do this so that when we add it to the dish it wont sip the sauce, and potato would have a different flavor and texture.
  • On a separate pot saute garlic and onion in oil
  • Add chicken and brown it slightly
  • Add water, carrots, tomato puree and bay leaves
  • Boil and simmer for 15 minutes
  • Add fried potato, capsicum, mushroom and tomato paste and simmer for additional 5 minutes
