Authentic Spicy Chicken Curry

Polar Bear's Note:

This recipe is an innovation of the popular Filipino chicken curry. I have made it a bit spicier by adding Indian curry paste which has special tamarind, coriander, garlic powder and oils, something I discovered in an Oriental store in Europe. the recipe as is, is only a bit spicy but not burning hot spicy. You can increase chili as desired. Anyone who loves spicy HAS TO LIKE THIS ! I have prepared this dish countless times to special guests and diplomats and all of them asked for the recipe. TESTED AND PROVEN Asian culinary delight. this recipe is a Modified Version of the Maya Kitchen "Filipino Cookbook" Chicken Curry Recipe
