Chicken Curry with Potatoes and Yogurt

Please forgive me... I'm about to toot my own horn... LOUDLY!

A culinary experiment hardly ever works perfectly the first time... with no changes. But not only did I just hit a home run...

I JUST HIT ONE OUT OF THE PARK!

(Excuse the baseball metaphor, but it is October!) 

I had potatoes, I had chicken, I wanted curry... in a hurry.  So...

I cut 10 small new potatoes into approximately one-inch pieces and sautéed them in EVOO until browned and crispy.

 

You can also speed that up a bit by putting them in cold, salted water, bringing them to the boil, and boiling for about 4 minutes.  Then drain and proceed to fry.)

Sautée 1 medium onion, chopped, in EVOO, until soft.  Add 6 cloves of minced garlic, and a large chicken breast cut into small pieces.

Sauté until the chicken just loses its pinkness.  Sprinkle on about 2t of good curry powder and turn off the heat.

When I was ready to eat, I combined the potatoes and the chicken mixture, added a shot of sriracha, heated the whole thing up (this also finished cooking the chicken), checked for salt...

Ladled some into a bowl, added a large dollop of whole-milk yogurt, swirled it in, and was happier than a pig in... Well, you know... 

Really happy! And you will be, too!
