What is curry?<\/h2>\n

Curry is a general cooking term used to describe a vast array of dishes from Southeast Asia, India and Thailand. In the Westernized versions of many Indian and Thai dishes, curry powders<\/a> and pastes are used to flavor dishes, while the original versions use fresh chiles, herbs and spices to build the flavor from scratch. Indian curries typically have warmer, richer flavor profiles from the use of cumin, coriander, cinnamon and turmeric, while Thai curries are often lighter and brighter, relying on flavors from lemongrass, galangal, and kaffir lime leaves.<\/p>\n

This coconut shrimp curry recipe is more akin to a Thai red curry<\/a> due to its use of red curry paste (or powder), coconut milk and fish sauce. This combination is a common base for many red curry recipes. Yellow and green curries also exist in Thai cuisine.<\/p>\n
