Curried Chicken Salad With Dried Cherries

Chicken curry is a dish originating from the Indian subcontinent. Not only is it a popular dish in Southeast Asia, but also both England and the Caribbean.

A typical curry dish from the Indian subcontinent is made with an onion and tomato based sauce and including ginger, garlic, chili peppers and a variety of spices which includes turmeric, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and cardamom.

Indian cuisine has a large amount of regional variations when it comes to chicken curry. South India, coconut and curry leaves are also common ingredients.

Outside of South Asia though, chicken curry is most often made with a pre-made spice mixture known as curry powder.



The truth is, chicken curry is a dish that is famous the world over. And rightly so. 

As a result of trade between England and India this dish was introduced to the rest of the world and each country has adopted as a dish of their own. 

And because of the love for curry, there are a lot of variations of the dish. And Chicken Curry With Dried Cherries is one of those variations.
