Ingredients

3 cloves garlic, pressed
1 tbsp gingerroot, grated 0.5 oz
2 tbsp lime juice, freshly squeezed 1 lime
1 pinch salt [optional]
ground pepper to taste [optional]
3 chicken legs, with back, skinless 2.1 lbs
1 onions, finely chopped 7.1 oz
2 green peppers, cut into strips 11 oz
2 potatoes, peeled and diced 14.5 oz
2 tbsp olive oil 1 fl.oz
3 tbsp curry powder 1 oz
1 cup yogurt, plain, 2% 8.9 oz
3/4 cup water, approximately 6.1 fl.oz
3/4 tsp brown sugar 0.2 oz
2 tbsp fresh cilantro [optional] 0.2 oz

Before you start

The chicken must be marinated overnight.

Method

  1. Press the garlic, grate the ginger and put them in a bowl. Pour in the lime juice, then add salt and pepper. Separate the chicken drumsticks from the thighs and put all the pieces in the bowl. Rub the chicken with the marinade, then cover and let stand in the refrigerator overnight.
  2. Prepare the vegetables: finely chop the onion and cut the peppers into strips; peel the potatoes, then cut them into 1,5 cm cubes.
  3. Heat the oil in a sautépan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and sauté thoroughly on each side until golden-brown, about 8 min. Take the chicken pieces out of the pan and set them aside, keeping them warm on a plate in the oven.
  4. Lower the heat to medium, then add the onion and sauté 2-3 min, taking care not to let it burn. Add the peppers and cook 4-5 min until golden-brown. Mix the curry with a little bit of the yogurt and add it to the pan. Cook 2 min over low heat with constant stirring.
  5. Put the chicken back into the pan, then add the remaining yogurt and enough water to make the mixture moist. Cook over medium heat, uncovered, for about 15 min.
  6. Add the potatoes and brown sugar, cover and cook an additional 45-50 min until the potatoes are soft. Garnish with cilantro leaves (optional) then serve.
