Chicken Curry (Filipino style)

Method

1. Heat the oil in a wide pan or pot over medium heat.
2. Sauté the chopped onion until soft, then add the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant.
3. Add the chicken pieces and brown lightly on all sides.
4. Sprinkle in the curry powder and cook 1–2 minutes, stirring, to bloom the spices.
5. Add the potatoes, carrots, coconut milk, water or stock, and fish sauce or salt.
6. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook 20–25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
7. Add the red and green bell pepper strips and cook about 5 minutes more until they are just tender.
8. Season with pepper and adjust salt to taste.
9. If you like a thicker sauce, simmer uncovered a few minutes longer.
10. Serve Filipino style chicken curry hot with steamed rice.
