Curry Chicken Salad

You see, I've had this Hot Curry Powder on my spice rack and thought I needed a certain recipe for this taste. So during precious naps, I experiment with some easy stuff and then get crazy and make up stuff as I go with some support from other recipes.
But what makes this powder so special are all of its ingredients. It has tumeric, cayenne pepper, coriander, ginger, cumin, fenugreek, white pepper, cinnamon, fennel, nutmeg, cardamom, cloves and Tellicherry black pepper. Wow right?! If  you don't have it, I recommend buying it. It can also be great for rub for some grilled steaks, a spicier dip, a tasty salad dressing or added to your savory pastas. It's perfected in this one guys. Really good. Enjoy!
