Add a little curry powder to roasted chicken and vegetables for a quick, tasty dinner.
For this quick meal, I used curry powder from the supermarket spice section. Strictly speaking, prepared curry powder doesn't really exist in India. Good cooks prefer to make their own blend of spices using the freshest ingredients. The curry powder found in the markets should be used within 3 to 4 months. After that it loses some of its flavor.
Fred Tasker's wine suggestion: Curry calls for a white wine with lots of fruit and a bit of sweetness; I'd try a viognier.
Helpful Hints:
_ A Golden Delicious apple can be used instead of the Granny Smith.
_ Minced garlic can be found in the produce section of the market or crush and use 1 medium garlic clove instead.
_ Add another \ teaspoon curry powder if you like it spicy hot.
Countdown:
_ Prepare the ingredients.
_ Make chicken.
_ Microwave rice while chicken cooks.
