Curried Chicken gizzard and liver with potatoes and How to make your own curry powder

-

We love chicken feet for that oozing collagen, then chicken liver and gizzard next. Chicken liver for those blood-enhancing elements and gizzard for it's mouth-watering crunchy texture. The perfect recipe is always adobo for both!

But I departed for a change, just to use the curry powder I mixed at the onset of the year. If I leave the spices packed and stowed somewhere, I end up lazy in finding them whenever I cook. So, I made them visible and accessible.

For curry:
1 T Canola Oil
Garlic and Onions, minced
1.5 T Curry powder (see mixture recipe below)
500g chicken gizzard
500g chicken liver and heart
3 medium potatoes, cubed
1.5 cup Water
Salt
Chili (optional)
1 packet soda cracker, crushed. 

In a wok, saute garlic and onion in oil. Add the curry powder and stir until aroma comes out. 

Add the gizzard and livers. Add the potatoes. Add water. Let cook covered and in medium to high heat for 10 minutes or until meat and potatoes are tender.

Add salt and taste more. I add chili. Empty a packet of crushed soda cracker to thicken the sauce. Serve hot over rice.


My Curry powder is a mixture of 
1part blackpepper
3 parts turmeric
1part cumin 
1 part ginger

Mix and store in a tight jar.

Do you still remember how Sarali or Sirali taste?

This "Sarali" is a childhood fruit for everyone who grew up in the Visayan area of the Philippines. Also known as  Flacourtia jangomas or Indian Plum or coffee plum, Sarali is best enjoyed by pressing one fruit between one's palm, move it in circular motion until tender, and pop the soft flesh quickly in one's mouth save the seeds. Just like apple, this fruit oxidizes quickly and thus, gets dark brown easily. It can give one's teeth a nasty brown shade. Sour with a hint of sweet, this is a must-try fruit. I believe, the fruit has an economic value just like sarguellas and lanzones. *** *** *** ***  Related readings:  Possible Treatment of Diabetes http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2959214/ Anti bacterial property:  http://www.ijplsjournal.com/issues%20PDF%20files/july2011/1.pdf

Linabog nga Bisaya nga Manok

When I searched for Linabog in th web, I can see entries on Linabog but using a different souring agent and usually the fish called "pagi" is used. Also, they attribute Linabog to the Cebuanos and there is one video which explained that the word means "throw away" because the parts used in the dish are parts which are usually to be thrown away, like the bony "pagi." Meanwhile, there is also a "kinunot" way of cooking which means "hinimay" or flaked for the Luzon. The name was also coined for leftover parts of fish or chicken. In Hiligaynon, the word "labog" means forcefully thrown away.  This surprised me because when I was small, I heard from my father and his friends about this linabog and they used the leaves of labog plant. So I grew up having some idea of what linabog cooking means and definitely, the Cebuanos' definition of Linabog dish is far from my Ilonggo definition. And yes, Ilonggos ...

TIKUM KADLUM (The Enchanted Dog, The First of the Ten Epics of Panay Bukidnon)

At the house. One day, Bulawanon engaged the help of Tikum Kadlum, a hunting dog with the gift of sensing the spirits, in cooking rice for his husband Paiburong and his brother Dumaraog who will be going hunting. When the rice was cooked, the brothers ate fast. Then, while Bulawanon packed the betel nut for her husband, Paiburong and Dumaraog dressed themselves, with Dumaraog suggesting they match their sashes and belts, since he is his brother's loyal protector. To complete their hunting preparations, the two brought out their long-bladed sharp knives, shields, spears, and lances from their gold chest and wall hanger. When everything is set, Paiburong bade goodbye to his wife, Bulawanon, who reminded her husband to be careful as he might meet in the forest one named Makabagting, who is accompanied by a man-eating woman called Muwa. Makabagting is a nobleman and a warrior who is widely known as having tasted human flesh. Paiburong went out of his house, and he heard a sound. It...
