Method
Blend the shallots, garlic and ginger into a paste, and cut the chicken and potatoes into pieces.
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok and fry the paste and curry leaves until fragrant.
Stir in the curry powder and cook for 2 minutes until it smells toasted.
Add the chicken and turn to coat well in the spice paste.
Pour in the chicken stock and coconut milk, add the potatoes, and bring to the boil.
Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 35 minutes until the chicken and potatoes are tender.
Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest piece of chicken; it must read at least 74 degrees Celsius before serving.
