Traditionally, every home faces the daily predicament of deciding what to cook today. Moms everywhere face this. In Pakistan, we mostly cook the chicken as only a meat dish and seldom try vegetables mixed with it. We have Qorma, Karahi, Achari, Bhuna, etc as our traditional food, though we enjoy Chinese Chicken Chilies and Vegetables but don't try it with local cuisine because the male counterpart in our society will not approve of that and the woman in the kitchen will face humiliated when asked sarcastically "How the hell did you add vegetables with chicken?"

This is true and this is what our women folk face daily resulting in no experimental cooking, no more trying new ideas of cooking.

I tried this very very simple dish and I, believe me, everybody at home loved it. Why? Because it was something which they've never thought of. It was novel. It is also time friendly, just cut small cubes or diamond cuts of the potato and add in the curry of chicken, add a few more spices of your choice, and bang! here is our simple chicken Potato curry.
