I always put curry powder and cashews in my chicken salad, oh and often curry powder in my oven-fried chicken. So yummy!

Curry powder in chicken soup!! It's the best.

Maybe just because it's kind of common place, but I'm shocked that curried deviled eggs didn't make the cut. I always use a mild curry mix from Penzey's when I make mine and have never had anything but rave reviews.

Oh there are so many great combinations missing from the list. I'm half-indian and my parents have cooked many different combinations. My absolute favorite is curry beef stew!
