My OH has decided he likes this after all when he was inadvertently served it in a baked spud at work.

Personally I dont like it - but I would like to make it for him.

Has anyone got a recipe that will not be too spicy?

many thanks

    I usually mix up mayo, curry powder and a dollop of mango chutney, and mix cold chopped chicken into it - that way you can vary how spicy or strong it is.

    The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.

    mayo, curry powder and a few chopped apricots ( I use half a small packet of the ready to eat type ), and few chopped almonds. Would depend on quantity being made. Then add cooked chicken ...voila!

    Thansk for the replies. Just two more quick questions -

    1. Will a few dried apricots be any good or must they be fresh? (I was thinking of cheating and picking out the dried apricots from the dried fruit ''n' nut mix I usually buy).

    2. Can this be made ahead of time and frozen?

    thanks again

    Mayo does not freeze well. Best to make it fresh. I can't help with the apricots, sorry.

    you could use dried apricots, though you may want to soak them in water or orange juice for a bit first to soften them up

    you may be able to just soak them in the mayo, anything to soften them a bit

    I make mine buy using left over roast chicken chopped into chunks. Couple of tablespoons of low fat mayo, some chopped spring onion and a teaspoon of curry powder (this is to taste really).

    Not sure if its the proper way but gets a thumbs up from us. Even nice with out the spring onions if you dont like them.
