Curry is a catchall phrase for spice sauces, gravies, and marinades with roots in multiple cultures. Its origins can be traced back to the Indian subcontinent, specifically to the Indian cuisine. The word "curry" is from the Tamil word "kari," which means sauce or gravy. Indian curry typically consists of a mixture of spices, herbs, vegetables, and sometimes meat or fish, cooked in a sauce or gravy base.
From India, curry spread to various parts of the world through trade routes and colonization. British colonialists played a significant role in popularizing curry outside the Indian subcontinent by bringing curry recipes back to Britain, where it became part of British cuisine. This British version of curry, often known as "Anglo-Indian curry," is characterized by milder flavors and added ingredients such as tomatoes, cream, and yogurt.
Curry also found its way to Southeast Asia, undergoing further regional adaptations. Countries like Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Myanmar developed unique curry styles with distinctive flavors and ingredients. Thai curries, for example, are known for their vibrant and spicy flavors, while Malaysian curries often feature a combination of spices and coconut milk.
Japan discovered curry during the Meiji era in the late 19th century and was influenced by British curry. It underwent further modifications to suit Japanese tastes. Japanese curry is typically thicker, milder, and sweeter than other curries. It often includes ingredients like potatoes, carrots, onions, and meat and is commonly served with rice.
As for the number of different varieties of curry, due to the immense diversity of curries across regions and cultures. Each country, and even regions within countries, can have its distinct styles of curry with unique flavor profiles and ingredients. There are numerous types of curries, such as Indian curries like butter chicken, tikka masala, and vindaloo, Thai curries like green curry and red curry, Japanese curry, Malaysian curry laksa, Indonesian rendang, and many more.
