Chicken Curry Filipino Style

I often overlook this recipe and wondering always what recipe will I post for today? Maybe because I thought I’ve already included this on my recipe collections on this blog. Anyway, chicken curry is I think an adopted dish from our ASEAN neighbors since most of our dishes seldom have curry powder in it. And come to think of it, there are also versions on cooking this dish. Some put carrots but the old fashion way is just using potatoes and bell peppers. It’s your choice to include carrots it looks more attractive and taste better anyway. Coconut milk or evaporated milk, its also according to your preference since some people don’t like or can’t tolerate coconut milk.

To cook chicken curry; Cut chicken into small serving pieces. Saute garlic until light brown; and finely chopped onions. Stir until onions are wilted. Add chicken. Pour patis then stir for about 3 minutes. Season with curry powder, pepper, MSG and water. Cover and simmer until chicken is half done. Add the rest of the ingredients except the coconut milk or evaporated milk. Add milk when chicken is done. Keep stirring until liquid boils. Cook for another 5 minutes.
