From the Test Kitchen

In this dish, you’ll bloom fragrant vadouvan curry powder with a touch of vinegar—an easy technique that helps release the flavors of the spices—before mixing it with creamy mayonnaise and tangy mustard. It’s a bright, flavorful drizzle for our chicken and rice, cooked with lightly sweet bites of carrots and currants.
