Like my seared scallop curry, I like to sear the marinated chicken and potato cubes beforehand and then finish the cooking process once the curry sauce is to my liking and almost ready to serve. The potatoes can be given a little more time to simmer in the sauce to create a thicker, creamier texture. Best served with steaming basmati rice. :)
