introduction to curry

by Joseph Veebe

Curry is usually an Indian dish made of meat, fish or
vegetables cooked with spices and herbs. The end product is
that the cooked meat, fish or vegetable are fully soaked in a
savory spicy sauce. Curry is usually eaten with rice or bread.
The dish is very colorful – most often red or yellow and in
some cases, green.
Curry powder or Indian curry powder is a mix of several
spices, in some cases up to 20 different spices and herbs. Most
notable spices used are coriander, cumin, turmeric and chili
powder. Other ingredients may include cardamom, cinnamon,
black pepper, ground ginger, ground mustard, fenugreek,
nutmeg and fennel. By varying the proportion of these spices,
one can create mild, medium or hot curry powder with distinct
taste differences as well as health benefits.
Besides Indian curry, there are many other variants of curry
from other countries such as Japanese curry, Thai curry,
Ethiopian curry and many others.
The spices and herbs used in curry are known for many health
benefits including anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant
and many others. Curry, therefore, is an excellent
health food and should be incorporated into your food habits
and diet regime.
One can make their own curry powder by mixing various spice
powders or blending various whole spices. This offers a lot of
flexibility in terms controlling the spice and heat level as well
as going with the spices one likes or more beneficial and avoid
or limit others. Many recipes for making spice blends for curry
powder are included in this book.
