The Origin Of Curry

Way back in the days when curry was called Kari by the Indians, it was a dish which was meant to be eaten with rice. The British then came up with their own discovery which outshone the Kari of the Indians hence it is believed that the British made the first real dish of curry.

All around the globe, many people have termed any dish that has hot soup as curry. Take an example of; Malaysian curry, Jamaican curry and African curry plus many more.

Many countries have a similar way of preparing the curry dish by using the same ingredients. This however doesn't mean that the way of cooking is the same hence all they have in common is the spices. Once in a while, the Thais use coconut oil to make their curry although chili paper can be opted for most of the time.

The cooks from Thai like it when their spices are placed in the cooking dishes in their full size without cutting them into pieces.

When you move around taking a look at all the Indian kitchens, you will get to know that the Indians are more interested in preparing dry ground spices for every dish. This implies that the Indians opted for a different way of cooking compared to the Thais.

Curries made from Northern India are prepared after a mixture of wheat and flour is put together with onions for a period of 30 minutes.

This amazing dish termed from an English word "curry" is so sweet that the Indians don't mind about the name. The fact that it came from a foreign country is not enough to hinder them from enjoying this lovely delicacy which is always eaten alongside any other food, in most cases, rice.

Even if you stew the food with all the spices you want, it won't be termed as curry because this dish has its way of preparation.
