I must say Goodbye to you!

Being a neophyte cook, i began to explore my little kitchen with these instants i got from the grocery. I became a fan of Del Monte, the moment husband favored my chicken curry using curry mix. But i guess, this will be the last set of my instants i have to use every cooking time. Husband wants me to cook the natural aka hard way.

And these sets of soup, that is very yummy with every fried viand will also be the last to behold my kitchen. Sigh. Now, no matter how hard it will be, i must bid goodbye to DelMonte Quick n Easy and Knorr. :(

My menudo that i cook this morning is quite the ground for hubby's disliking the products. He said it taste good, but he disagrees that menudo should have laurel leaves! I told him to complain on DelMonte's! Am just following instructions and its not my fault. Hahah

Oh well, in my mind, i know i have to cook every meal on its original way and not to be dependent on instants! Sure they are making my life easier but i have to learn things in a harder way to appreciate them! :)

Oh my! Chicken Curry!

As an amateur cook, i know i will cook Chicken Curry in the near future! It is a must for me, coz i really love eating it, so i must know how to cook it when my crazy cravings come up. So when i did our grocery a week ago, i included in the list the Del MOnte Quick N Easy Curry Mix.

Quick n Easy Chicken Curry

1 pack Del Monte Quick n’ Easy Curry Mix, combined with 3/4 cup water and milk
4 pc medium potatoes, cut into chunks
2 pc medium carrots, cut into chunks
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 pc medium onion, sliced
1 kg chicken, cut up
1/3 cup evaporated milk (or 1 cup thick coconut milk)
1 pc small red bell pepper, cut into cubes


Just 3 Easy Steps!

1. Fry potatoes and carrots. Set aside.
2. Saute garlic, onion and chicken in 2 tbsp oil. Pour in Del Monte Quick n Easy Curry Mix mixture.
3. Simmer until chicken is done. Add fried potatoes, carrots and bell pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes or until sauce thickens.

Makes 8 servings.

I really wish, first impression lasts. Coz hubby could not believe how i did it near perfection! :) He just loved the taste! He was not a fan of chicken curry before until he tasted my curry! I know i will have to cook it again and he will be drooling just the thought of it! :) So i have my DM Curry Mix a Must in my grocery shopping list! Wink
