Created for the Queen's coronation in 1953, coronation chicken is sweet, creamy and gently curried. Mixing mayonnaise with yoghurt keeps it lighter without losing any richness.
Cooking the curry powder briefly in oil wakes up the flavour and takes away any raw, dusty taste. It's a great way to use leftover roast chicken.
