      Yield: 8 Servings
 
      1    Stalk lemongrass
  3 1/2 ts Curry powder
           Black pepper
      1 ts Sugar
      4 ts Salt
      3 lb Chicken; cut up
      7 tb Oil 	
      3 lg Sweet potatoes or yams;
           - peeled, cubed (white
           - potatoes, peeled, cubed
           - may be substituted)
      4 cl Garlic; chopped
      3    Bay leaves
      1 lg Onion; in wedges
      2 c  Water 	
      1 lg Carrot; 2" slices
      2 c  Coconut milk
      1 c  Milk or water
 
  Combine the curry powder, black pepper, sugar, add salt
  and marinate the chicken in the mixture for at least 1
  hour.
  
  Heat the oil and fry the potatoes over high heat until
  brown.
  
  (It is not necessary to completely cook potatoes at this
  point, only to brown them)
  
  When well browned, remove from the pan and set aside
  until ready to cook the curry.
  
  Pour off most of the oil from the pan, leaving 2 tbs
  for cooking the chicken.
  
  Heat 2 tablespoons oil over a high flame.
  
  Fry the garlic for a few seconds, then add bay leaves,
  onion, and lemon grass; stir briefly and add marinated
  chicken, stirring long enough to sear the meat slightly.
  
  Add the 2 cups of water and carrot, then cover and bring
  to a boil.
  
  Turn the heat down and simmer for 5 minutes; uncover and
  stir, then cook, covered, for another 10 minutes.
  
  Remove the cover and add the prefried potatoes, coconut
  milk, and the milk.
  
  Cover again and simmer another 15 minutes.
  
  Serve with rice, Rice Sticks, or Japanese Alimentary
  Paste Noodles.
