For chicken

• 650g chicken, bone in, small pieces (marinate for 30 minutes with 1 tbsp minced ginger, 1 tbsp minced garlic, 2 tsp brown sugar, 1 tsp chilli powder, 1 tsp paprika powder, ½ tsp turmeric, 1 tsp salt)
• Flour as needed for coating

For mash

• 1kg potato, boiled and peeled
• 100ml milk

Coat the marinated chicken in flour, and fry for 1 minute on each side with the coconut oil.

Transfer the chicken onto a plate, and add the butter to the same pan. Sauté onions, ginger and garlic until softened, and toss in the mushrooms and spice mix.

Once the mushrooms are cooked, add milk, then the chicken, cover and cook for 20 minutes.

In a large pot, add the milk and butter to the boiled potato, and turn the heat to low. Mash until everything is combined, and smooth. Once done, turn off heat, add chopped parsley and mix well.
