Serve this great tasting chicken with rice and a favorite vegetable for a fabulous family meal. It's quick to put together and fancy enough to serve to guests. Curry powder is a blend of spices that mimics the spices used in northern indian cuisine. However, it was developed by the british and is not an authentic spice blend used in south asia. Instead, cooks use individual spices or a blend (often freshly made) called garam masala. The yellow color of curry powder comes from turmeric, a spice related to ginger that is getting good press for its health effects. Do note that it can stain your clothes and countertops, so be sure to wear an apron and clean up any spills swiftly. Curry powder also contains aromatic spices such as cumin, coriander, ginger, cinnamon, and cardamom. Some hot spices are usually included such as cayenne pepper and ground black pepper.
