Chicken Curry Tamale. With spices at the heart of chicken curry, this tamale brings all the depth and warmth of more traditional tamales. Onion, garlic, and ginger, along with tomatoes, curry powder, yogurt and cream create a rich base for the chicken. Turmeric, coriander, and garam masala add an "East meets West" final touch that makes this tamale fun to eat.
