Easy Chicken Curry

5 pieces chicken thighs or drumsticks thawed
1 small onion diced
2 cloves garlic peeled and crushed
1 teaspoon ginger grated or chopped fine
1 large potato peeled and cut into cubes
1 large carrot peeled and sliced 1/2 inch thick
3 to 4 tablespoon curry powder ( curry powders vary some are stronger than others so add in to whatever suits your taste)
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (or 1 teaspoon chili powder or fresh chili if you like it hot diced small seeds out)
3 tablespoons oil
1/2 cup water

If I am using thighs I like to take off the skin and cut the bone out then cut the chicken into cubes but, I still use the bone to cook the curry so that you get all the flavor so don't throw them away. If you use drumsticks you don't have to prep them just cook as directed in the recipe below.

In a large pan/pot heat oil on medium heat, cook onions for a couple of minutes then add ginger and garlic continue cooking for 1 minute add cubed chicken and the bones, brown chicken for about 10 minutes then add potato & carrots. Cook on medium heat about 15 minutes turn down heat to low add curry powder, paprika, chili flakes and water, stir until chicken mixture is well coated cook another 15 minutes or until potato & carrots are tender.

* serve with rice or if your lucky to have it in your grocery store Naan bread or my personal favorite  Roti.
