My husband was born in Leyte and many of his favourite dishes are mostly with coconut milk. (This is probably because there are lots of coconuts in their place.) Chicken curry (Filipino style) is one of them.

· 3 tbsp. oil
· 2 potatoes, peeled, quartered and fried
· 1 carrots , peeled and cut
· ½ kg. chicken, cut into serving pieces
· 5 cloves garlic, minced
· 1 large onion, minced
· ½ cup ginger, peeled, julienne
· 1 tbsp. patis (fish sauce)
· 2 tbsp. curry powder
· 2 cup water
· 1 green bell pepper, cut into big squares
· 1 cup coconut milk
· salt and pepper to taste

Pan fry potatoes. Set aside. Boil chicken in a pot add salt, pepper and ginger for 10mins. Set aside

In the same pan, sauté garlic until light brown then add onion .Sauté for a few minutes. Add chicken and stir for few minutes. Put the broth, curry powder and carrots. Lower the heat. Simmer for 5 minutes.

Add coconut milk, bell peppers and fried potatoes and stir occasionally. Cook for another 5 minutes.

Remove from heat. Serve hot.
