Hearty curry potato## The taste that hits home and brings you right back



Growing up in Zim a one pot dish of potato stew was interesting ,mostly having it for lunch or breakfast,company it with bread oh my,simple and easy dishes that gives you something to hold on to for memory sake.

Lunch after school on a hot day the aroma filling the nostrils as you approach the main door it was welcoming and they're quite filling too alright let me stop here, recipe below

Igredients
 #1kg potatoes washed peeled and chopped in chunks
#1 large onion finely chopped
#3 large fresh tomatoes chopped
#1/2 a cup curry powder (for super tasty curry i use two defferent curry powders)
#2 cubes chicken stock
#2 cloves garlic
#sea salt to salt
#vegetable oil
#3 cups water
For garnish salad cress and a dollop of creme fresh

Method

On the hob add oil to a large saucepan heat gently,in goes onion what you want to achieve here is a caramalized effect to the onion it needs patience, but the result is out of this world yr family will thank you for it.
fry the onion for about 10mins this time you will have added salt and you will see the onion begin to look stringy add garlic fry for a minute , mind you this need low heat.

now add the chopped tomatoes fry further for 2mins now add the curry make sure all the ingredients are coated in goes potatoes ,take note here, coat thoroughly the potatoes, before adding water,let them absorb the curry the water in tomatoes will keep it from sticking as long as yr heat is low, no burning

turn the potatoes aroma from the curry and caramalized onion will be perceived how nice, now add water and crumble the chicken stock simmmer for 15min its done
when done garnish with creme fresh and cress. enjoy
