WHAT IS CURRY?

Curry is a complex mixture of herbs and spices – many of which flavor the savory, sweet and spicy dishes that are staple-foods on the Indian subcontinent.

Most Indian curry blends contain a mixture of warming spices like dried chilis, cumin, turmeric, coriander and ginger.

These spices are sometimes toasted or ground raw – and are used in everything from popular dishes like vindaloo to Rogan Josh and even this delicious keema curry with chickpeas.

Now, while these spices and flavor combinations are most definitely Indian in origin, it turns out that (depending on where you live in the world) curry powder may actually have been developed closer to home.

You see, it is said that commercially produced curry powder was a colonial British invention.

Regardless of how it ended up being sold in the modern age in containers at your corner shop, however, the spicy, smokey and earthy flavors are iconically Indian.
