Chicken, Lamb or Shrimp Curry

This is the recipe I was looking for that my Japanese father-in-law used to make - great for Lamb. Of course he used a lot more garlic than onions! Try adding a little dry white wine ~ 1/4 C or so, and use chicken broth or bouillion. Also a 1/4 tsp of Chinese 5 spices makes it smell delicious. Instead of boiling my potatoes, I nuked them to a 'parboiled' state then let them finish cooking in the broth. And since the broth seemed a bit thin, I cooked my rice right in the pot. Perfect!
