Everyday Chicken Curry

• 1 medium onion, minced
• 1 red or green chilli (optional)
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon oil (olive or cooking)
• 1 chicken, skinless and cut into small pieces
• 1 tablespoon cumin powder
• 1 tablespoon coriander powder
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1/2 tablespoon salt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (preferably fresh)

1. Place minced onion and oil into a large saucepan and saute over medium heat until brown.

3. Using a blender, mix cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric, paprika, salt, lemon juice, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste and 1 cup water.
4. Add the blended mixture to the pot.
5. Add 1 cup of water to the pot. As the curry cooks, you may want to add a second cup to get the desired consistency or to allow it to cook longer.
6. Add chilli powder.

8. Peel 3 potatoes, cut into half lengthwise and then cut each half into quarters, ensuring they are all equal in size.
