Curry chicken and potato rice is a beloved, hearty dish that’s easy to make with tender chicken, creamy potatoes, and aromatic curry sauce. Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating this comforting meal.

Ingredients:

- 500g chicken thighs (cut into bite-sized pieces)

- 3 potatoes (peeled and cubed)

- 1 onion (chopped)
