I love chicken curry. I have yet to create an authentic curry dish, but the classic Filipino version is okay with me, and enjoyed by Bon, so that'll do for now. I love curry when the sauce is a bit spicy, yet creamy. It's perfect for hot rice and you'll have to pour lots of sauce onto your rice, to make things better.
When I tried to do Chicken Curry for the first time, I put all the ingredients and then almost puked when I tasted it. I don't know if I did not put enough coconut milk or if I just went overboard with the curry powder because it was so bad. I achieved the perfect "curry" taste by adding salt and sugar to my cooking. Alternating between the two, I was finally able to hit it, and I don't know now if the recipe book I copied it from just forgot to write SUGAR or if I really did something wrong. Anyway, what's most important is that Bon enjoyed this dish that I cooked and he even said that he can't tell the difference between his mom's cooking and my version anymore --- Ha!
