Making a good curry can sometimes be quite hard but Mack love a good challenge in the kitchen. He say it did take sometime to master his favourite curry but once he got the recipe perfect its super easy.

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons olive oil

1kg chicken thighs, cut into bite size pieces

2 -3 small potatoes, peeled and cubed

1 large onion, chopped

1 tablespoon ginger paste

1 tablespoon garlic, minced

1.5 tablespoon good quality curry powder

2 teaspoons garam masala

1 can diced tomatoes

1⁄2 cup chicken stock (you may also use water)

2 bay leaves

2 curry leaves

1 cinnamon stick

Directions:

• Start with a hot pan with olive oil - add onion and saute for a few minutes. 
  
• Add ginger paste, garlic, curry powder, garam masala and cinnamon stick. 
  
• Saute for a few minutes until you make sort of a paste.
  
• Add chicken and saute until chicken is no longer pink.
  
• Add potatoes, tomatoes, curry leaves, bay leaves and chicken stock - bring to a boil.
  
• Reduce heat to simmer and cook uncovered for approximately 1 hour stirring occasionally.
  
• Add more chicken stock if you like it thinner.
  
• The curry should thicken and have a rich deep golden colour.
  

Enjoy with basmati rice and a glass of red wine.
