Fish Sauce Curry Chicken

There are really many versions of curry chicken and so long as they are spicy and aromatic, I like.  This one is quite unique as no salt is used.  As the name implies, fish sauce plays a part in seasoning of the curry.

The curry is very aromatic, quite dry with thick gravy coating the chicken pieces.  Taste - not too spicy, sweet and tangy.
