KEEP CALM and CURRY on
I like my Chicken Curry with fresh coconut milk. I don’t like using canned or powder. I like it squeezed out of shredded old coconut a few minutes before I cook so I can get that sweet, creamy coconut-ty to-die-for curry gravy. I am crazy about dishes that uses coconut milk and I feel so lucky that I found this store in the wet market which can do that for me. You just have to choose the size of the coconut, add ₱2 to the total prize, and they will machine-squeeze that coconut right in front of you. You get your coconut milk, whole and fresh.
This is an easy everyday chicken curry in a mild coconut milk gravy. It goes great with rice, flat breads, and naan.
So how do you eat your chicken curry? If I’m with family and I’m eating rice, I’d probably smother it with the sauce. I’d also slurp a bit of the sauce on my spoon…kind of like– soup.
If I’m eating bread or naan, I’d probably dip my bread long enough so it could soak up all those wonderful yellow sauce. I’d probably accidentally dip my fingers in the process and lick it after eating the bread.
If I’m with you,well, I would all be prim and proper and use a fork with my bread. Naaaah, I’d probably do the same as what I’d do when I’m with family and then ask you not to judge…hee. We’re friends , right? I know you won’t judge me. Hey, I won’t judge if you lick your fingers too…
As for my chicken I like them fresh too! I buy my chicken from the local wet market or palengke where I have a suki.

Thanks Raymund!
In our wet market here, they also offer that service but I prefer the canned coconut cream because I’m lazy to go to the market and mas mahal pa fare kaysa sa coconut. hehehe!
This is the reason why I don’t cook curry yet, because I can’t find fresh coconut milk in our area. But thanks for the recipe, I will certainly look this up when I am ready to prepare this dish. 🙂
Chicken curry is a family favorite here – especially with my brother. I never knew how to cook this though but I might give it a try.
Mommy! My pickiest eater loves Chicken Curry- but I’ve always used the mix. I once tried the fresh coconut milk, but I failed! I will bookmark this in case my son craves for a Chicken Curry- tomorrow! hahaha.. Yummy!!!
I love chicken curry! In fact, I’ve been craving for it lately. I must cook some soon! Yours look yummy!
Chicken Curry is among my favorite dishes. Knowing your acumen for cooking, I’m sure this is a good one.
I like chicken curry, we had this last Friday. Your recipe looks delicious! I can eat chicken curry alone because I don’t eat rice.
This looks SO delicious! I tried using canned coconut milk for my Ginataang Adobo once and was super disappointed with the taste. Since then, I always buy fresh coconut juice.
yum yum yum! It’s bad for me that I have to read this at 9 in the evening and I’m on “diet”.
This is my favorite chicken dish, I love it steaming hot with a big bowl of rice.,
this is also one of my favorite chicken recipes that i cook almost every week! omg! it’s 1 am and you are making me crave for curry! looks yummy btw!
One of my favorite dish! Pero this one is either super yummy or super fail – no in betweens. And yours looks uberly yummy. And I agree on the fresh gata. Yum!
Fresh coconut milk is definitely the best. But here, buying fresh coconut is a hassle.
The picture above surely tells that it’s delicious. I love chicken and I’m gonna try this one. Thanks for sharing your recipe! Looking forward to see more.
Thank you Ajika!
