Note

Cooking Tips: For best results, cut potatoes into uniform 2cm cubes to guarantee even cooking. If curry sauce is too thick, add additional stock or coconut milk gradually. Pat chicken skin completely dry before cooking for maximum crispiness. Let the curry rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavours to develop fully and sauce to thicken slightly.
