Bicol Ginataang Manok

“Ginataan” is a term meaning “to cook something in gata”. Gata is the tagalog term for coconut milk. Today, we’re going to cook a poultry dish that is Creamy and Spicy- Ginataang Manok Bicol style. This Bicol dish is a recipe that I learned from my house helper. I like very spicy food and curries having travelled to different parts of southeast asia so I really love cooking this one at home.
