When ready to cook,boil the chicken adding salt,ginger and garlic and a little water for 10 minutes

Meanwhile in a different pan pan sear the potatoes sprinkling tumeric and some salt before it is almost golden brown

Remove the potatoes and add more oil in the same pan and fry the onions until brown and remove

Cook your rice either plain or you can add some tumeric powder when done to give it a yellow appearance
