Ingredients

800g chicken thighs
200g button mushrooms, halved
1 green bell pepper or capsicum (thats what we call it here in NZ)
6 cloves garlic
1 medium red onion
1 big can tomato puree
3 tbsp tomato paste
3 small potatoes quartered
2 pcs carrots, sliced
1/2 cup water
oil
salt
sugar
pepper
4 pcs bay leaves

Instructions

Deep fry potatoes separately until golden brown. I do this so that when we add it to the dish it wont sip the sauce, and potato would have a different flavor and texture.
On a separate pot saute garlic and onion in oil
Add chicken and brown it slightly
Add water, carrots, tomato puree and bay leaves
Boil and simmer for 20 minutes
Add fried potato, capsicum, mushroom and tomato paste and simmer for additional 5 minutes
Season with salt, sugar and pepper.
