How to cook the famous Filipino Chicken Curry
Filipino Style Chicken Curry Recipe Filipino style is a variation of the local Ginataang Manok, where the chicken is cooked in coconut milk. The only difference is in Chicken Curry, we have added the Curry powder plus the vegetable and other spices to increase the flavor.
In most places, the terms “chicken curry” and “curry chicken” are interchangeable. However, there is a considered difference between the two terms in some countries, even though both dishes include curry and chicken. While different version renders their distinct taste and presentation, the underlying flavors of chicken curry are pretty much the same, and it is very spicy, rich, aromatic, and highly addictive.
My wife and I love this delicious Filipino Chicken Curry version and make it all the time.
