  1                cup frozen peas
  2        tablespoons cilantro -- chopped
 
Heat oil in large saucepan over medium high heat.
Add onion and chicken.  Cook till the onion softens, about 5 min. 
Add garlic, ginger and curry; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the potatoes and milk.
Increase heat to high and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer
for 15 minutes.
Stir in peas and cook for 3 minutes longer. Just before serving add the cilantro and salt to taste.
So what makes this dish hot, crush 1 or 2 fresh ulupicas in your bowl and enjoy.  Never tried it with
any other type of pepper but whatever you have on had that is fresh and juicy.
