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.
