Recipe Story

Curry is the English description of any of a general variety of spicy dishes, best known in Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, Nepali, Indonesian, Malaysian, Thai, Afghani, and other South Asian and Southeast Asian cuisines, though curry has been adopted into all of the mainstream cuisines of the Asia-Pacific region. Along with tea, curry is one of the few dishes or drinks that is truly "Pan-Asian". But specifically, its roots come from India. The concept of curry was later brought to the West by British colonialists in India from the 18th century.

Thank you. Its just an interest and plan. First I check in my fridge what vegetables are available and how I can turn them out into a dish for the next day. Some support and some encouragement works wonders.
