Cook onion until soft but not brown in olive oil, about 4 minutes. Add curry powder paste, stir for about one minute, turn of heat and set aside.

Combine mayonnaise, ketsup, apricot preserves and cream in another (large) bowl. Add the onion-curry mixture. When this is thoroughly mixed, fold in all the cooked chicken.

Place all this in refrig to cool for at least 3 hours, or overnight. Just before serving, place almonds in a dry pan and brown over medium heat on stove top . Let them toast/heat, but not turn brown or burn.

To serve, place Coronation Chicken on a platter and surround it with "rice salad": any cooked rice with various veggies chopped into it: carrots, peppers, onions, peas, or serve with anything else you like.
