Step:

Wash chicken parts with coarse salt and rinse clean with water.
For those not sure what the spices look like. Here is a photo taken before being pounded/grind.
Grind/pound each spices one by one, then mix together to grind/pound. If you using pounder, crush/smash the lemongrass in mixture. If you using grinder, crush/smash the lemongrass separately, do not grind lemongrass.
Heat cooking oil in frying pan using medium heat. Stir fry the spices till fragrant for 3 minutes.
Add in chicken parts. Stir fry till chicken evenly mixed for 5 minutes.
Turn off the heat. Add coconut cream/milk. Stir everything till chicken parts evenly coated.
Scoop everything in frying pan to a big pot. Add in potato and water. Use low heat to simmer for 20 minutes. Do not cover the pot completely to avoid boiling over. Stir the curry frequently to avoid curry being burnt at bottom.
Ready to serve with rice while hot.
