When you live in a city or town for an extended period of time, you establish "your" spots. From the best breakfast brews to the superbly satisfying suppers, you know EXACTLY where to go to get what you need!
When I left Hoboken, I was certain that I would never find a better pizza place than Grimaldi's or form a better bond with a coffee barista than I had at Dunkin Donuts. Although such is true, I have found a new spot that not only welcomes me with a smile, but also fulfills my health food frenzy. That place is Jesse's Fresh in Spring Lake Heights, NJ. With each visit, I have fallen in love with a different menu option, but always seem to crave the Curry Chicken Salad.
Wanting to continue to munch through the menu and not just stick to my Middle Eastern must have, I created my own spice blend from some pantry staples. My curry powder (which was loosely based off of this recipe) included equal parts cumin, coriander, turmeric and salt with ginger and cayenne in greater and lesser increments respectively.
When mixed with canola oil mayonnaise, my leftover roast chicken, some celery and golden raisins, my craving was curbed and my kitchen skills stepped up!
