Turkish Sulu Patates ("watery" Potatoes)

Submitted by MSU_Girl

"This is another simple Turkish recipe that I learned while living in Turkey. It consists of potato and chicken cubes in a thin, tomato water. It makes a nice, light lunch that's perfect for Istanbul's rainy winter days. Afiyet olsun!"

I liked this dish. I added paprika seasoning and pepper to make it a little spicier. Yum :)
