Grandma's Curry Chicken secret recipe

This is one recipe that my relatives always come to our house for, especially during Chinese New Year period. But, since this is Deepavali, we also decided to have our own family dining with Grandma's Curry Chicken, how's that for a mini celebration !

I could say , the Grandma's curry is so well-received by my relatives that I do not always have a 2nd serving by the time I get my hands on it during CNY. So, here it is, my mum's hand-me down secret recipe.. it's more a combination of Northern Indian thick curry, not the yellowish curry ones which we normally have. It's can be real spicy depending on the type of the curry powder !

Brace yourself for the curry fragance while cooking ... can cause sneezing seizure ..haha ! And brace even more when savouring the curry gravy.. For the Faint-hearted, go slow. For the Brave-hearted Foodie, I say GO For IT ! Hmm.. extra curry spices, anyone ?

So here it is...

2 big potatoes (peeled and boiled, cut into cube sizes)
3 tomatoes
2 garlic cloves - minced
