Chicken Curry Pinoy Style

1 chicken (1 kilo)
2 large onions, quartered
3 bell peppers, red & green, strips
2-3 stalks celery (1'/2 ' long)
3 potatoes (big cubes, fried) 2 tbsp. curry powder
1/2 tsp. ground pepper
1 tsp. vetsin 1 tbsp. patis 1 tsp. salt
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 cup thick coconut milk
or evaporated milk
1/2 cup water

Cut chicken into small serving pieces. Saute garlic until light brown; and finely chopped onions. Stir till onion is wilted. Add chicken. Pour in patis, stir for 3 minutes. Season with curry powder, pepper, vetsin, and water. Cover and simmer until chicken is half done. Add the rest of the ingredients except the coconut milk (or evaporated milk).
Add milk when chicken is done. Keep stirring until liquid boils. Cook for another 5 minutes.
For a more spicy chicken curry add 2-3 minced hot pepper (siling labuyo).
