Chicken Curry Recipe

Now I’m going to share with you the 3^rd amongst all special chicken recipes that according to my tastes and preference is next to Sinigang na Manok which is the Chicken Curry. According to my friends, this chicken curry is very special when it comes to chicken dishes maybe because of its spicy taste which makes sense and put curry into becoming more popular to people who visits Philippines. I don’t know if you already have an idea what this dish gives to people who eat chicken curry. But when you taste it, I’m pretty sure that you’ll definitely say “wooh!” after tasting one. There are many versions or varieties of chicken curry around the world. I’ve tasted and experienced the Japanese and Korean version of chicken curry, and I know there’s still many of them from different countries and regions that I’ve missed. By the way, here’s how it was cooked, let’s start with the ingredients:

Cooking oil

Ginger, sliced

3-4 potatoes, quartered or sliced into cubes

1 chicken, cut into servings

Garlic, sliced or quartered

Onion, sliced or quartered

1 tbsp. fish sauce (patis in tagalog)

3 tbsp. curry powder

a cup of water

1-2 Red bell pepper, cut into pieces or quartered

A cup of Coconut milk

2-3 Celery stalk, cut ½ inch each

How to cook:

First, heat your pan and fry the potatoes then set it aside for later purpose. Then, in the same pan, deep fry chicken and wait for about 10-15 minutes and wait till it gets a little brown texture. Now add the garlic and onion fry it together on the same pan and wait for few minutes until it’s soft. Add fish sauce and seasoning along with the curry powder, salt and pepper, and stir it for 2 minutes. Now add the water then cover and wait till it boils. Lower the heat and add the celery, bell peppers, fried potatoes and simmer for 2-3 minutes until it’s half-cooked. Then lastly, pour in the coconut milk or evaporated milk then simmer and stir it once in a while for about 5-7 minutes. Then it’s done. Happy eating!

And now let me tell you some health benefits you are getting from this chicken curry dish. Of course our recipe is not complete without even a piece of vegetable in it, what we have here in this recipe is the celery stalk. And according to my short research, celery stalk contains phthalide which can lower blood pressure, and also it lessens the production of catecholamine (exists if physically and emotionally stressed) which causes the imbalance flow of blood by restricting or blocking the blood vessels. So with this celery a bit, you will lessen the possibilities of having a catecholamine in your body. And that’s all for now, hope you enjoy it.
