  In a wide frying pan, heat 2 T of the oil over medium-high heat.  Add
 potato and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for five minutes. Remove
 vegetables from drippings and set aside.  Add the remaining 1 T oil.  When
 oil is hot, add chicken and cook, turning, until browned on all sides. Push
 chicken to side of pan.  Add curry powder, turmeric and chili powder to pan
 juices and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.  Return vegetables to pan.  Add
 chicken broth, coconut milk, and salt.  Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover
 and simmer for 30 minutes.  Remove cover and continue cooking for 15
 minutes or until meat is no longer pink and sauce has thickened slightly.
 Serve with rice and pass condiments in separate bowls.
