I wonder how many debates this thread will inspire that would be right at home in Goons with Chickencheese

That was some nice looking curry there, Could you possibly write down all of your directions for the recipe you use for those of us who are bad at cooking and need hand holding?

Based on the rice washing discussion I'm going to assume someone's going to have a brain meltdown every update over something.

As for the recipe I went through the video and transcribed it the best I could, because I want to toss it in my recipe folder as well.

9) Mix the coriander and tumeric/turmeric, the salt and pepper in a glass. Add that to the pan and stir around until it coats the potatoes and chicken
