If you’re a fan of chicken salad and curry powder spice mixes this recipe is for you. It’s fragrantly flavorful and perfectly seasoned and it has just the right amount of mayo to bind all the ingredients together while the textures of the crunchy scallions and chewy raisins shine.

There are many types of curry powder to choose from but Madras curry is one of my favorites. I tested this recipe first with a pre-made mix and while it was good I found myself adding extra amounts of cumin coriander and cayenne so I decided to make a homemade mix instead.

Similar to how Daniel developed his spice blend for his Japanese curry recipe I began by studying the ingredient lists of numerous Madras curry powders. Coriander seemed to be the main ingredient and all of the powders contained turmeric and cumin. Fennel fenugreek and mustard were also consistent while the addition of spices like cinnamon cloves and garlic varied by brand.
