About

Coronation chicken is a great British classic, with its balance of spicy and sweet Anglo-Indian flavours. I love making my own curry powder so I can make it as spicy or aromatic as I want. Once the mixture is made, it will keep in the fridge for 4-5 days. Those who like to take a healthy and nutritious lunch to work need look no further as these make the perfect portable lunch.
