Bengal’s Potato Chicken Curry

Today I am sharing a simple chicken curry which I make quite often at home and the typicality is adding diced potatoes and whole garlic to chicken curry.

Bengali style is a bit different from how non-Bengalis usually prepare.A simple recipe cooked with fresh chicken and potatoes with a variety of spices.

I enjoy it with hot steamed rice or roti. Beleive me it tastes awesome.
