HereĀ“s one of my fav dishes,the Tahitian Chicken Fa Fa. The recipe is very simple:

For 4 servings:

1 kg of chicken fillets
6-7 large potatoes
1-2 large tomatoes, roughly chopped in large pieces
1 ognion
2 garlic cloves
a handful of fresh spinach leaves
1 tsp curry
a dash turmeric
some fresh ground black pepper
1 cube chicken broth
1 fresh habanero
1 can coconut milk
oil to fry
1 lime

Start frying the ognions, garlic and chicken. Add water to almost cover and add the potatoes. Add the broth and the spices. Cook on medium heat until almost done, add more water if needed. Taste to see that the habanero dont give more heat than you like. Towards the end of cooking add the coconut milk, tomatoes and some more fresh spinach leaves. Sprinkle a little fresh lime juice on top. Simmer for a while.

Serve this with rice and some extra coconut milk in a small bowl topped with some lime zest
