ECQ Eats: Easy Curry with McCormick Curry Recipe Mix

The pandemic placed everything on hold in a difficult new normal. But it also gave us more time to appreciate and value what really matters. Including more time in the home kitchen...


Staying home and dining at home is the norm in a prolonged quarantine, and preparing easy yet sumptuous meals are now part of the daily routine. The wide selection of products from McCormick Philippines lets you expand your flavor experience and make complex dishes in a snap. Like comforting Chicken Curry in just a few quick steps, perfect for rainy afternoons at home in the long days of quarantine...


The rich layers of curry requires a number of ingredients including a rich spice blend and long hours in the kitchen. McCormick makes it easy with their line of Curry Recipe Mix for Red, Green and Yellow Curry, all you need to add is your choice of meat and vegetables along with coconut cream to the pot and simply let it simmer. No fuss, no sweat. In tune with the times, you can also conveniently order and purchase McCormick products online via their FB Page at https://www.facebook.com/mccormickfriendsandflavor/shop for your perfect curry feast at home.


A quick run-through in the ref and pantry yielded just enough ingredients to prepare a hearty curry dish at home. The McCormick Red Curry Recipe Mix is ideal for beef but having none in the freezer, substituted chicken instead (the McCormick Green Curry Recipe Mix is best with chicken). Based on Thai curry, McCormick Red Curry Recipe Mix combines the bold notes of herbs and spices all in one pack.  


The first step is to lightly brown and sear the meat (roughly 1/2 kg) with oil. Add in some aromatics like onions then set aside. Next, simply dilute McCormick Curry Recipe Mix in one cup of water and one cup of thick coconut cream. Pour mixture to the browned meat then add vegetables like carrots and potatoes and allow to simmer until the meat is thoroughly cooked and the curry sauce thickens. All that takes just a few minutes.


The savory curry with its distinctive sharp notes complements the delicate flavors of the chicken followed by the sweetness of the carrots. It's a comforting dish prepared in minutes with what's available in the home pantry. The quarantine experience continues to impact our daily routine with dining at home, the rise of the food delivery culture and increased online usage emerging as new consumer habits defining a challenging year. Simple, convenient and easy to prepare yet comforting dishes makes the home dining experience so much more special in this new normal.   


Easy curry for the ECQ, rediscover dining at home with homemade dishes in a new normal that's here to stay. Red, Yellow or Green, pick your curry and open up a pack of McCormick Curry Recipe Mix and create memorable meals in just a few quick and easy steps...
