I LOVE this recipe.. I made it several years ago and since then I have literally craved it. I added much more curry seasoning than suggested, but the balance of potatoes/carrots/chicken is great. I don't even eat it with rice -- just as a side dish!

I love this recipe. I use a bit more curry have a higher ratio of veggies to chicken, but this is a new classic at our house. The whole family loves it. Try red curry for a bit more of a kick.

Just made this and it came out awesome. Substituted a cup of water with coconut milk and added fresh cilantro and fresh garlic. Definitely will make this again.
