CHICKEN CURRY WITH OKRA AND TOMATOES

Hello mga kapuso, kapamilya, mga kapatid... welcome to my blog!

This is my first ever blog and I'm so happy & excited to share with you my cooking experiment today. Ano pong naiisip ninyo when you say curry? Typical Filipino curry ay yung may patatas, carrots, at bellpeppers di ba? what if some of the ingredients aren't available and you're too lazy to go to the market para mamili ng kakailanganin sa pagluluto o wala na kayong oras para mamalengke?

So now I wanted to share kung ano ang nadiskubre at na-expirement ko dahil wala ang ibang ingredients pero ibang gulay naman ang available. This complements better than carrots or bellpeppers, I assure you that. And guys, sa mga hindi pa nakakaalam na pwede palang lagyan ng peanut butter ang curry naku! lasap sarap talaga. Similar to the kare-kare, The texture is creamy and it adds more flavor to your curry dish. To add peanut butter, please remember that we all have different tastebuds and so I recommend you to add bit by bit until you reach your desired taste. It applies to all seasonings, herbs and spices when you cook the recipe that is new to you. It is not necessarily follow the quantity or amount listed on the recipe, ang importante ay sundin kung anu-ano yung mga ingredients at seasonings, spices, herbs pero yung amount ay nakadepende sa inyong panlasa, pwedeng dagdahan o bawasan. So, the amount or quantity of seasonings and spices listed on my recipe is based on my own taste and when you try my recipe, please follow your own tasting.

Hinain ko na eto sa mga amo ko at wala akong narinig kundi purely compliments dahil nasarapan sila sa luto ko yeheyyyy!!! Kaya nakakaganang magluto kapag ang kakain ay talaga namang ninanamnam ang inyong luto. Cook food with all your heart para masarap lagi ang inyong niluluto. Sa mga may amo, subokan din ninyo ito, malay ninyo baka may tip pa kayo, chaaaarrr!!!

Luto na tayo mga darlings...😊😊😊

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 kilo chicken - cut into pieces

1 to 2 big pcs potataoes - cut into cubes

1/4 kilo okra - cut into halves

15 pcs cherry tomatoes - chopped 5 pcs for sauteeing and leave 10 pcs whole/unchopped

250 ml coconut milk

1 tsp peanut butter

herbs and spices:

2 cloves garlic- minced

1 thumbsize ginger- minced

1/2 tsp turmeric powder (optional)

2 tbsp curry powder

salt and pepper to taste

1 tbsp soy sauce or patis (optional)

HERE'S HOW TO COOK:

Tip- always prepare all things that you need before cooking, para madali at walang makakalimutang ilagay.

1. Marinate your chicken with salt and pepper plus sprinkle some curry powder for 10 mins para manuot ang lasa.

2. Igisa ang bawang, sibuyas, luya at chopped tomatoes, add your chicken and pan fry for about 5 mins.

3. Isama ang potatoes at lutoin ng limang minuto. Don't worry kung hindi pa luto ang karne at patatas dahil you will simmer for additional time. Ang importante ay golden brown ang kulay ng karne at patatas para mas lalong appetizing na tingnan.

4. Add the coconut milk, peanut butter, curry powder, turmeric powder at salt and pepper to taste. Simmer until cooked and until you reach your desired consistency of the creamy sauce. If you find it dry, add generous amount of water.

5. Finally, add your veggies... the okra and whole cherry tomatoes and cook until tender. Please do not overcook, it will only take up to 5 mins. Add the soy sauce or patis para sa karagdagang lasa.
