    Brits, what is a curry?

    What is "a curry?" I hear some of you mention it once in awhile, going out for a curry, getting a curry, etc.. What exactly does it mean? Post a photo?

    Curry really is many things - more of a way of cooking, using indian spices.

                                  Curry is the English description of any of a general variety of spiced dishes, best known in Asian cuisines, especially South Asian cuisine. Curry is a generic term, and although there is no one specific attribute that marks a dish as "curry", some distinctive spices used in many, though certainly not all, curry dishes include turmeric, red pepper and cumin. The word curry is generally believed to be an anglicized version of the Tamil word kari. It is usually understood to mean "gravy" or "sauce", rather than "spices". [1]

                                  It should be kept in mind that the curry served at Indian restaurants in Western countries is not the same as the staple diet for an average Indian family. While retaining similar ingredients used in these restaurants, curries prepared in South Asian homes are considered leaner and healthier by people from these parts. Also, it's incorrect to assume that curry is the most important constituent of a South Asian meal. Indian cuisine, in fact, is one of the most diverse cuisines in the world, and curry is just a part of it. That being said, curry's popularity in recent decades, has spread outward from the Indian subcontinent to figure prominently in international cuisine. Consequently, each culture has adopted spices in their indigenous cooking, to suit their own unique tastes and cultural sensibilities. Curry can therefore, be called a pan-Asian or global phenomenon, with immense popularity in Thai, British and Japanese cuisines.[2]

                                        I'm pretty sure there's loads out there but it's just not something Americans are willing to try/eat at a large scale.

                                          Was that really necessary?
                                          Do people ever really just supply their own words much anymore. The constant quoting of wiki, youtube, or other source is really starting to get annoying around gfy. Understandable if people are asking for some sources to ones argument but not forming ones own opinion first is just fucking lame.

                                          PS this is not really directed at halfpint.

                                              Nothing like some spicy butter chicken dish (also called chicken tikka masala) at an Indian restaurant. Have with some garlic naan, daal makhani and raita.

                                              I have introduced Indian food to a lot of people, they have all been addicted to indian food since.

                                              If its your first time, I suggest reading some reviews online for Indian restaurants in your neighborhood first (a bad restaurant can spoil a experience for ever) and don't forget to try butter chicken dish there.

                                                I like that dish, but did not like it on garlic naan. Will not make that mistake again. The garlic naan just seems so way out of place and over powering.

                                                We are currently stuck with only 1 place in our area. We had one prior that went out of business (location sucked). What drives me mad is the first place had killer tomato cucumber salad, while the current places just sucks ass. They add shredded lettuce and that just kills it. I just liked the chunks of tomato, cucumber, peppers, herbs, spices, and whatever sauce it was.

                                                    Indian Curry is the food of the gods. In the UK we have a huge Indian population, Southall Hayes and Hounslow are predominantly Indian towns. Indian Curry restaurants are in virtually every town and city in the UK Some like Wandsworth have 10 indian restaurants. Southall is 100% indian restaurants.

                                                    The best by far is in Richmond, on the Upper Richmond Road, called the Taste of Raj, its been there more than 25 years and has IMHO the best curry in the country.

                                                    Years ago after a night of drinking "warm beer" in huge amounts, the thing to do was to head for the local curry house and eat the hottest curry on the menu. That would have been a Phall or Vindaloo. These days curries are much more diverse and even people who dont like spicy food seem to like a Thali, Tandoori or Korma.

                                                    The only thing I miss about the UK is a genuine Indian Curry and some of the great beers like Abbot Ale, Old Speckled Hen, Old peculiar and Dortmunder.

                                                    As soon as i get an ABC license here in San Diego ill be importing some of these speciality ales for my American friends

                                                      I get a craving for Indian food every now and again, the hotter and spicier the better. Luckily there are about a dozen places within easy range of my place, some even do home delivery. Tandoori chicken, samosa, vindaloo, or anything curried are some of my favorites.

                                                      Hell, you can buy a spice blend called "curry" right in the spice aisle of most supermarkets so it's kind of strange seeing someone asking "what's a curry?" :D

                                                      I bake a mean curry chicken pie by the way.

                                                            Thai, Indian, and Chinese are the most common.

                                                            And thai is probably the only which actually originated from the country and remains the same as it was (unless i'm mistaken. if so please give us some more insight)

                                                            Thai Curry is probably the only one which remains the same as it was created.

                                                            Red and Green Thai curry were both created in Thailand and are original to the country.

                                                            Indian curry in it's origins is very mild and if you ever go to an indian families house for a curry, you will be suprised at how mild and savoury the flavour of it is.

                                                            Indian Curry traditionaly is chicken, lamb, or beef meat, coated in a very mild but not sweet spice mix.

                                                            The hotter curries such as madras (my fave) vindaloo, and Phall (fahl) were mainly created in the UK for the british people to enjoy a more spicy and intense flavour.

                                                            I'm not sure where the chinese curry originated from but i'm guessing the UK.

                                                            One of the chinese curries main ingredients is actually Madras paste which is of course indian, and a selection of very mild spices along with chinese 5 spice which they use for a lot of their cooking.

                                                            If anyone has anymore references to this please post them up

                                                            And like the "wiki" page says it is in a sense Gravy. curry to me literally means meat and/or vegetables cooked in a spicy or savoury sauce or gravy.

                                                              You are aware that most Indian people do not eat beef right?
                                                              As for how the Chinese got curry - I would say take a peak at the geography.
