Basic Chicken Curry
Time: 15 minutes prep, 25 minutes cook
Directions
- Heat a large wok. Add oil.
- Fry the potatoes until partially brown. Set aside.
- On the same wok (add some more oil if necessary), saute garlic, ginger, onion, tomatoes, and the chicken pieces.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook until there's a hint of brown on the meat.
- Add water and patis.
- Turn down the heat. Simmer for about 15-20 minutes while stirring occasionally.
- Add more water if it is starting to dry up without drowning the entire dish. It's supposed to be a stew, not a soup.
- Add the carrots, curry powder, and milk.
- Simmer for another 10 minutes.
- Add the remaining ingredients -- bell pepper, potatoes, and chilies.
- Simmer for 10 minutes more.
- Make sure the carrots are cooked.
- Taste test to check if it needs additional seasoning.
- Serve with rice.
