Cooks' Note

Actually a blend of several spices, including turmeric, which lends the familiar yellow hue, curry powder is the main component of a range of spicy and savory Indian dishes. For a hotter, more typically East Indian curry, increase the amount of curry powder a bit and add a teaspoon of cayenne pepper, or choose a more potent Madras curry instead of a milder variety. Use leftover chicken or one of the handy precooked varieties now found in most supermarkets.
