Chicken Curry

What you need:

400g chicken

onion

garlic

salt
ginger

potatoes

red bell pepper

green bell pepper

2 tbsp curry powder

fish sauce (patis)

cooking oil

water

coconut milk

What to do:

• I normally boil the chicken before cooking, just to be sure that the chicken is thoroughly cooked. Previous dishes taught me to do this. Before boiling the chicken, season it with salt. Place the pieces in a pot, cover with enough water then boil. After making certain that the chicken is cooked and soft, remove the chicken from the water and set aside.
• In a cooking pot, heat the oil. Then fry the potatoes. I was taught that vegetables should be separately fried to maintain the "crispiness" in the outside but soft in the inside. Set aside.
• Saute the garlic, onion and ginger.
• Fry the chicken pieces. When the chicken turns light brown, sprinkle the 2 tbsp of curry powder. Spread evenly.
• Pour enough water into the pot and allow to simmer.
• After a few minutes, put the potatoes, and the red and green bell peppers in the pot.
• Season the dish with fish sauce. Then simmer for another 5 minutes.
• Pour in one cup of coconut milk.
• Simmer for another 5 minutes, then serve.
