How to cook Chicken Curry

Growing up, food was never an issue at home. Not that we’re rich, it’s just that my Mama is a very creative cook. She can make even the simplest of dishes taste really good. Funny thing is, I thought we WERE rich. Nakalagay kasi sa mga libro na binabasa ko dati, when describing someone rich, laging kasama ang “nakakakain ng masasarap na pagkain”, at dahil masasarap ang ulam namin feeling ko mayaman kami HAHAHA!

Now that I’m married, I’m lucky I found someone who is also good in the kitchen. Among eight children, my husband is the second from the eldest that’s why he learned his way in the kitchen early on, unlike me who’s the youngest of three. Among his language of love is cooking so I figured that he would also appreciate someone (me) preparing him food.

I planned to cook dinner for him yesterday but of course I had to enlist his help HAHAHA! Because I’m a newb in the kitchen department, I asked him to come with me to the grocery for the ingredients of chicken curry! Naaaks napaka-ambitious! Acutally, the only reason I had the confidence to even try cooking such a daunting-sounding dish (for me lang okay? Haha!) is because I have the aid of DeLonghi Multrifry.

This is how they described the product from their website:

Multifry is an innovative cooking appliance combining a low-oil fryer and a multicooker to meet each and every need for all the kitchens of the world. It enables you to rapidly fry tasty fresh potatoes in a healthier way with minimum oil and to prepare a variety of recipes: from risottos to cous cous, from stews to ratatouilles. Multifry even allows you to bake pizzas, cakes and pies.

They really brought “multi” to a whole new level! What’s better is they have a DeLonghi app that I only had to download into my phone with all the recipes of the dishes I can do with my DeLonghi Multifry! Super exciting!

Here are the ingredients:

Chicken breast 600g

Onion 1

Carrots 1

Chicken broth 150ml

Cooking cream 200ml

Coconut Milk (I used this as a substitute for milk because I’m a big gata lover)

Salt

Curry

Olive oil

All-purpose flour

I also just added my own ingredients:

Potato (1)

Faith (3 cups)

Confidence (3 ½ cups)

Determination (5 cups)

I only took photos of the what I think are the most important ingredients hihi

Here’s how it’s done:

1.     Mix the cups of faith, confidence, and determination in one bowl and drink in one big gulp.

2.     Put the oil in the bowl and arrange the cut up onions, carrots, and potatoes evenly on the bottom. Close the lid, set the thermostat dial to position 4, press the bottom heating element button and press the on/off button. This will sautee in 5 mins.

3.     Add the chicken that’s been cut in pieces and floured along with the broth and salt. Cook for another 5 mins.

4.     Pour the cream and coconut milk and set the timer to 15mins.

Aaaand it’s done!! I didn’t expect it to be so quick. I prepared my chicken curry as early as 3PM while Mr. L was at his basketball game. Akala ko kasi gagabihin ako hahaha! Napa-meryenda tuloy ako ng kanin hihihi!

When the husband came home that night, he was delighted that food was already waiting for him J Kitchen is made much less of an intimidating place for me with DeLonghi Multifry.

Can’t wait to try more dishes!
