About this dish

Country captain is a curried chicken dish, often served with rice, popular in the Southern United States. It was introduced to the United States through Charleston, Savannah, New York City, and Philadelphia, but has origins in Anglo-Indian cuisine from the time of the British Raj in India. The dish was included in the U.S. military's Meal, Ready-to-Eat packs from 2000 to 2004, in honor of its being a favorite of George S. Patton. It has appeared on television shows in both the United States and in the United Kingdom, with chefs Bobby Flay, Atul Kochhar and Cyrus Todiwala all cooking the dish. Todiwala served his version to Queen Elizabeth II as part of her Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
