Chicken Curry

I cook chicken curry very seldom or only on special occasions not like chicken adobo or tinola.  Although curry dishes are truly delicious but i could only take too much of it. I easily get tired of the taste. But if I eat curry once in a blue moon it tastes really really good. But there are some Asian countries that eat curry food almost everyday like in Thailand, India, Malaysia and others. The last time i ate curry was maybe a year ago so I decided to give it a try again this time. Curry is not my favorite but I like it. 


The ingredients are:
1/2 kg chicken breasts
2 tbsp curry powder
1 cup fresh coconut milk
2 potatoes cubed
1 carrot cubed
1 green bell pepper cut into squares
medium sized onion sliced
crushed garlic
1 small part of ginger peeled and sliced
4 dried laurel leaves
black pepper
1 tsp sugar
salt to taste
oil


Procedure:
1.  Heat oil in a pan and saute ginger, garlic, and onion
2.  Add the chicken breasts cut into serving sizes
3.  Add salt according to your taste. Let the chicken cook for about 3 minutes.
4.  Add the potatoes and carrots and add 1 cup of water. Cover and let it cook for 7 minutes.
5.  Then add the curry powder and the coconut milk. Add a little sugar a black pepper. 
6.  Boil for 2 minutes. Add seasoning if you like or you may also add sweet basil for some sweet aroma.


There you go, your delicious Chicken Curry ready to eat with rice of course. Enjoy! <3
