Chicken Curry

It's October! After days of monsoon rains and a week of house arrest(this deserves another post soon), it's a great feeling, well at least for me, to wake up to a sunny day outside. Sun worshipper talaga ako. I'm sad whenever we have a gloomy kind of weather.

Anyway, I just want to share what I cooked for lunch today.

Chicken Curry

Ingredients:

• 1/2 kilo Chicken - thigh, breast or legs, cut into serving sizes
• 1 tablespoon Curry Powder
• 1 pc. Red or Green Bell Peppers, cut in thick strips
• 1 cup Coconut Milk
• 2 medium sized potatoes, cubed
• 1 medium carrot, cubed
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 medium tomatoes, sliced
• a thumb of ginger, sliced and pounded
• 3 cups of water
• 1 tablespoon Fish Sauce or Patis
• Pepper
• 2 tablespoons Cooking Oil, for sauteing
• salt

Saute garlic, onion and tomatoes in oil. Add ginger and chicken. Pour in curry powder and fish sauce. Stir, then add water. Bring it to a boil. Add in carrots and potatoes. Simmer till both chicken and potatoes/carrots are tender. Add bell peppers and coconut milk last. Let it simmer for another two minutes to incorporate. Season with pepper and salt to taste.
