Hello yummy chicken! This week’s recipe is for a delicious curried chicken.
 
Our all in one hit wonder Ami Ami Spice is key in the seasoning and making of this wonderfully tasty chicken curry.  Let’s talk a little more about our famous Ami Ami Spice, which is really our signature spice mix. 

Ami Ami is a delectable blend of 23 premium spices including items like clove, fenugreek, oregano, bay leaf and mustard seed.  One of the key ingredients is turmeric (curcuma longa).  This is commonly called red ginger and is called, gangamau in Hausa.  The root is used dry for spice, mainly in curries such as this one.  Turmeric is also used as a dye, for cosmetics (eye make up) and as a medicine.  For example it is used for vermifuge, as a jaundice treatment, as an eyewash and as an ointment for skin diseases.
