What is Curry?
Indian curry is a thick sauce or gravy seasoned with a variety of spices. It often contains meat and vegetables to create a filling, flavorful dish. Although it originated in India, it became popular in Great Britain in the 1700s. This dish typically uses spices such as turmeric, ginger, cumin, chilies, and coriander. The spices in each dish determine its color, so you usually see brightly colored curry. Because different spices offer various flavors, there are many types of curry to choose from.
Different Types of Curry
Every type of curry starts as a thick, creamy sauce with a variety of spices. At Little India of Denver, our signature curry sauce blends tomato, onion, ginger, and garlic with traditional curry spices such as turmeric.
