Happy Curried Chicken Day!

Derived from the Indian word for sauce ("kari"), curry is a loose term for nearly any spicy dish of Indian or South Asian descent that has a gravy base. Rather than referring to a specific recipe genre, curry covers a vast realm of cuisine that varies with international interpretations, with one sole limitation: that the dish uses curry leaves or curry powder.

Americanized varieties like the one pictured above rely upon kitchen pantry staples, using butter, honey, mustard and curry, while more exotic Indian renditions, like this Cardamom Chicken Curry, often call for more exotic ingredients like chiles, turmeric and cinnamon. Like Thai curry, this Malaysian Chicken Curry recipe tempers the spice with coconut milk, whereas a Green Thai Curry Chicken might also use ginger, lime and lemongrass seasonings. Whatever the ingredient components, curry promises to liven up any chicken recipe.
