Notes
Even cooking: Cut the potatoes to evenly sized pieces so they cook evenly.
Low and slow: I prefer to cook chicken curry on a low heat. As soon as the chicken's tender, it's done. Don't overcook or you'll dry out the chicken.
Add the peas later: If you prefer very soft peas, add them at the start of the cooking time, otherwise add them near the end so they stay quite firm.
