Curry with carrot and potato

A new recipe I learnt from my mil. Chicken curry with carrot and potato. Yup, carrot added to curry. Not we found commonly in our curries. But I enjoyed the sweetness of carrot in the curry even more. 

 

My mil used this brand of curry powder for her curries. 

She used lots of garlic, shallots, lemongrass, curry leaves  and ginger in this cooking. Give this curry a try. And again, no exact measurement; based on your preferences.

Ingredients:

Garlics, shallot minced

1 star anise

1 -2 cinnamon sticks

2 lemongrass, bruised

Handful of curry leaves
