My Chicken Curry Using McCormick Curry Seasoning Mix

According to Wikipedia, Chicken Curry is a common delicacy in South Asia, Southeast Asia, as well as in the Caribbean (where it is usually referred to as "curry chicken"). A typical South Asian curry consists of chicken stewed in an onion and tomato-based sauce, flavored with ginger, garlic, chillies and a variety of spices, often including turmeric, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, cardamom and so on. Outside South Asia, chicken curry is often made with a pre-made spice mixture known as curry powder.

Sounds yummy and tastes even better when eaten with rice! For some people, cooking it in a traditional way is difficult.  Why are they supposed to do it the old way when it can be cooked in a quick and easy manner but the taste is very close to the authentic one?

Now, cooking Chicken Curry is made easy and hassle-free using McCormick Curry Seasoning Mix! This is how to do it based on the cooking instructions written at the back portion of the label.

My Version

I used chicken. I boiled it first before frying it on its own oil. I set it aside and used the same oil in browning potatoes and carrots. I used four cups of thick coconut milk extracted from two grated coconuts instead of two cups as stated above. I added green bell peppers too and a dash of salt to taste.

Ooopps,sorry! I wasn't able to plate my Chicken Curry to make it look more appetizing. I took this photo immediately after cooking.
