What Is Curry?<\/h2>\r\nWhether you're brand-new to Indian cooking<\/a> or have perfected the blend of flavors to make chicken tikka masala<\/a>, you've probably come across the term \"curry.\"\r\n\r\nThis word has come to mean many things over the years, as Indian food traveled from the subcontinent to other countries. The spicy, flavorful Indian curry<\/a> from your favorite takeout joint is most likely a British invention, brought back by soldiers returning from the subcontinent who incorporated the flavors they'd grown to love into a simple one-pot dish. This dish was heavily inspired by the North Indian version of a curry, using similar flavors and meats.\r\n\r\nCurries within India vary depending on the region and might be meat-based, vegetable-based or even legume-based (incorporating chickpeas or lentils). Most curries in a region often (but not always) share similar characteristics.\r\n
