What is a curry?
Despite the popularity, the question remains, what is curry and where does the name come from? Although, it is possible to buy curry powder in the shops – for true Indian cuisine the dishes that are served don’t feature such a generic spice and will use a perfected mixture of tastes to create the unique flavour and heat of each dish.
Across the UK, the name has become synonymous with spicy plates of food whose origins lie in Asia – with the name ‘curry’ being an Anglicised version of the work ‘Kari’ which simply means sauce.
