Chicken Curry

Whenever I yearn for chicken curry, I would usually buy ready-cooked ones. But this morning, I tried to cook on my own. This was the first time I tried cooking chicken curry with the instant curry paste. 

the instant chicken curry paste

the instructions are very simple..

Firstly, I peeled the potatoes and then boiled it till they were soft.
Next, I fried the paste with the chicken till aromatic.
Then, I added the potatoes and some water.
I let it boiled for sometime before I poured low fat milk into it.
Lastly, I simmered it for about ten minutes.

the result?

I love it! It's not too spicy and most importantly,  my boy and my girl finished it!

      I prefer not-so-spicy curry, just like the Japanese curry, cause I can eat more, haha xD
      If too spicy, can't able to eat a lot.

  22. MEcoyJuly 26, 2013 at 5:48 PM

    however, since this has preservatives
    I think it's not healthy to do in this in daily basis, so if given a chance still try
    to do it in a natural way

      Babas paste needs other ingredients whereas this does not require any extra ingredient.

    My husband makes the best chicken curry, but I'm afraid I rarely watch him make it. Now you've made me hungry.

    Wow! you cooked chicken curry for the first time using the ready mix paste! There are so many brands in the market and some are really good with fragrant smell. I have tried them and added curry leaves with the bark to enhance the taste! Great to go with potatoes.

      I know the Chef Celebrity Agnes chang and she herself taught me to buy all ready mix pastes to cook various dishes as busy workers like us have no time to make original pastes. She taught me to just add in some seasonings to perfect them.

    To be honest, I have never cooked curry dish. First, curry is not my favourite dish, for that reason I never put an afford to learn how to cook it. Secondly, my girls do not like hot and spicy dish so this is another reason why i still have not tried cooking curry so far in my cooking.

      I don't like too spicy hot curry so if I were to cook curry I will definitely want to find one that is not hot one, probably I will consider this Nyonya brand next time since it is not the hot one..:D

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
