Hey peeps.
I hope this blog finds you well.
My cousin's wedding is approaching, and these days, that’s the only topic being discussed at home. While everyone is focused on shopping, as a skincare freak, I’m only worried about my skin. Lately, I’ve added mashed potatoes to my diet because it’s a healthy supplement for both the skin and body. However, coming from a traditional family, mashed potatoes alone don't fill us up, so today, I made a chicken curry to go with it, which we enjoyed with roti.
So today, I'll share the recipe I used.
### INGREDIENTS

Once the potatoes were boiled, I strained them but saved a little of the water. Then, I mashed the boiled potatoes well and placed them on the stove to add the rest of the ingredients.

After adding the butter, I poured in the water I had saved earlier while straining the potatoes. This is a trick to enhance the flavor.

After adding the water, I mixed in some Maggi masala.

After removing the lid i let the chicken cook for sometime as i have to dry the extra amount of sauce from the chicken.
