Mrs. Hawkins Curried Chicken With Potatoes and Eggs
- 2 large onions, grated
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 12 cup margarine
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 whole roasting chicken, skinless, cut up (or a combination of what ever pieces you like, bone-in breasts, thighs etc.)
- 4 medium potatoes (or more if you can fit them in the pan)
- 6 hard-boiled eggs
- 12 cup boiling water (or more if necessary.)
- Peel potatoes.
- Cut into halves lengthwise and then cut each half into three of four pieces according to the length of the potato.
- Don't cut them too small or they will cook too quickly and turn to mush.
- In an electric skillet or in a large pan on the stovetop, mix together paste ingrediants.
- Add meat and potatoes and fry well at medium high.
- When it shows signs of sticking to the pan, (brown but not quite burnt) turn heat down and add 1/2 cup boiling water, stir in well.
- Cover skillet and simmer for aprox 2-3 hours.
- Cook slowly.
- When 3 is to high, turn to low and then to warm when nearly finished.
- It will be necessary to add water from time to time.
- Each time, add only 1/2 cup boiling water, not too often and only when curry seems to be drying out.
- Stir frequently to prevent sticking or burning, and keep curry covered.
- Eggs which have been hard boiled and peeled can be added for the last hour to 1/2 hour of cooking.
- Serve on top of rice.
- Cut eggs in half so everyone gets some.
- Yum!
- Enjoy!
- Thank you, Mrs. Hawkins!
- ****Note*** According to Mrs. Hawkins, you can also make this curry with beef, mutton, pork or salmon.
- If tough meat is used and the potatoes are cooked before the meat, remove the cooked potatoes from the pot and add them back in when the meat is done.
- In the case of canned salmon add it when the curry is finished, juice included.
- In the case of fresh fish steaks, salt to taste, flour and fry.
- Add to the curry after the paste and potatoes have cooked.
- This type of curry will only take 1-1/2 to 2 hours.
