Food Facts
Curry powder is a blend of many spices as unique as the person blending them. Most commercial curry powder contains of blend of cayenne, cinnamon, coriander, cloves, cumin, mustard, pepper, and turmeric. The distinct yellow color of curry powder comes from the turmeric. Healthy Benefits
Researchers have found that turmeric, a spice find in curry powder, is an effective antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.
Shopping Tips
The type of curry powder that you find in the supermarket is available in two main styles: Standard and Madras. My favorite for this recipe is Madras; it has a sweeter, hotter taste.

Could tuna be used instead of chicken in this salad?
I think tuna would taste yummy. Just follow the same directions.
Enjoy!
All the best,
