~Bengali Chicken Curry with potatoes~
Here is the recipe of the Sunday special Bengali chicken curry with potatoes. Bengalis add potatoes and sugar wherever possible and that makes the food more scrumptious. This is a must have item in the Bengali sunday Lunch menu . Serve this with rice and after eating this you cannot do anything, you will have to sleep like all bengalis do in their sunday afternoon.

Whole garam masalas
Garam masala powder 1 tsp
turmeric powder half tsp
