Potato and Chicken Salad with Curry Mayo

February 10, 2012 By Delia

Curry mayo is a yummy twist to the classic potato and chicken salad recipe. We used marble potatoes, but you may use regular potatoes if desired. Pickle relish, carrots and celery are also great additions to this delectable dish.

 

Serves 5

Ingredients:

1/2 kilo marble potatoes, washed and scrubbed

1 cup roasted chicken, cubed

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 teaspoon curry powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin powder

Salt and ground white pepper to taste

Fresh spring onions, chopped

 

Place the potatoes in a pot and then fill it with cold water. Add some salt and put it over high heat. Bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook the potatoes for ten to fifteen minutes or until they are cooked. Drain and let them cool completely. Slice the potatoes in half and transfer them to a large salad bowl.  Add the chicken.

Combine the mayonnaise, cumin powder and curry powder in a small bowl. Mix well. Season it with salt and pepper. Add the mixture to the potatoes and chicken. Toss to combine until the potatoes are coated in mayo. Adjust the taste by adding more salt and pepper as needed. Cover and refrigerate for at least thirty minutes. Sprinkle with spring onions before serving.

Half fill a saucepan with water and place it over high heat. Bring it to a boil.

The capers and anchovy-stuffed olives add an interesting bite of saltiness.  Eat it alongside ham, chicken or other meats.  This yummy recipe is great for sharing during parties and other gatherings.

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Fill half of a small pot with lightly salted water. Place it over high heat. Add the potatoes and carrots. Bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 6-8 minutes or until the vegetables are almost tender. Add the peas. Cook it for 2-3 minutes or until soft. Drain the vegetables well.

Place the vegetables to a medium sized bowl. Add the onions, bell pepper, gherkins, capers, and egg.
