LEMON, GIN AND TONIC SAUCE RECIPE RECIPES

Back in 1953, long before the Los Angeles chef Roy Choi started making Korean tacos, a different kind of cross-cultural mash-up was minted in England as a way to celebrate the crowning of Queen Elizabeth II. Coronation Chicken, a dish with Indian flavors, has since “become a staple in the U.K.,” said Nicky Perry, whose almost-a-quarter-century-old West Village shrine to British food, Tea & Sympathy, serves it as the filling for one of the restaurant’s signature sandwiches. “There is such a huge Indian population in the U.K. that the two cuisines have become somewhat intertwined.” By now it is a mainstay of the American picnic basket, too, and its undercurrents of sweetness (from apricots and mango chutney) and spice (from curry powder) are easy to achieve. Use soft bread, so that the chicken salad doesn’t go squirting out the sides with each bite. And cutting off the crusts? Go right ahead. There is no shame in that.
