A curry is any of a great variety of distinctively spiced dishes, best-known in Indian, Thai and other South Asian cuisines, but curry has been adopted into all of the mainstream cuisines of the Asia-Pacific area. Along with tea, curry is one of the few dishes or drinks that is truly "pan-Asian", but specifically, its roots come from India. Curry was later brought to the West by British colonialists in India from the 18th century.
Curries around the world
The term
curry is derived from
kari, (a
Tamil word meaning sauce and referring to various kinds of dishes common in
South India made with
vegetables or
meat and usually eaten with
rice).
* However, the term (meaning a stew) is found in
English before the arrival of British traders on the Subcontinent, and may simply have been applied by them to dishes which they thought resembled the stews they were used to. Nowadays the term is used more broadly, especially in the
Western Hemisphere, to refer to almost any spiced, sauce-based dishes cooked in various south and southeast Asian styles. This imprecise umbrella term is largely a legacy of the
British Raj. There is a common misconception that all curries are made from
curry powder or that a certain meat or vegetable is curried. In India, the word curry is in fact rarely used. Most dishes involving
lentils are called
dahl, or else are referred to by a name specific to the
spices used in the preparation.
Meat or
vegetable dishes are likewise given specific names that indicate the method of cooking, or the particular spices used. There is, however, a particular north
Indian and
Pakistani dish which is given the name
curry or
khadi - this involves
yoghurt,
ghee and
besan (see below).
