Another Day, Another Recipe to Share
The past few weeks have been financially tight, and I wasn鈥檛 able to cook a decent dish. My husband kept mentioning how excited he was for me to cook his favorite meal again since he had been craving it during those weeks of strict budgeting. Thankfully, our budget has become more flexible now, and I was able to buy the ingredients to prepare his favorite dish.
Let me share this recipe with you. It鈥檚 a well-known dish in our country, often served at celebrations. I鈥檓 only making a small amount since it鈥檚 just for me, my husband, and our child.
Ingredients:
1/2 kg chicken parts (cut)
1/2 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons curry powder
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1 whole green bell pepper
2 whole potatoes (feel free to add more; just adjust the seasoning accordingly)
1 whole carrot (you can add more if you like; adjust seasoning to taste)
1 whole onion
3 cloves garlic
1/2 cup water
Oil for saut茅ing
Salt and MSG to taste (optional)
Procedure:
Clean the chicken,slice the onion,garlic,tomatoes and carrot first in medium sizes.
Heat oil in a pan. Saut茅 the garlic until it turns golden brown and fragrant, then add the onion and cook until translucent.
Add the chicken and mix well. Cover with a lid and cook until the chicken turns slightly brown.
Add the potatoes, carrots, curry powder, and ground pepper. Stir everything together.
Let it saut茅 over low heat for about 5 minutes, then add the coconut milk and water.
Season with salt and MSG, if desired. You may skip these if the flavor is already sufficient for your taste.
Let it cook over low heat for about 10 minutes. Then add the green bell pepper and cook for another 3 minutes on low heat.
Serve and enjoy!
Every time I cook this dish, I feel excited because it鈥檚 my husband鈥檚 request. As I mentioned in a previous post, he is the ultimate judge when it comes to cooking. I love hearing his compliments, whether good or constructive, as it helps me improve my skills.
That鈥檚 all for today. I hope you enjoy your day with some great food too! 鉂わ笍
