Chicken Curry With Potatoes

Chicken and potatoes in a curry? What a food winning formula and this my version Chicken Curry  (Malaysian Indian Chicken Curry) With Potatoes is my own formula to cooking. I basically coined the recipe. I basically did it my way. What is the difference or why it is different? I fried the chicken (Ayam Masak Merah) first before tipping into the curry cooked with potatoes. A cooking invention of mine without compromising on mouthwatering tastiness.
