The Origin and Historical Origin of Curry

Indian curry, a kind of sauce, is well known. Curry is an indispensable part of Indian food culture, but now it has become the most popular sauce in Asia. Why is Curry loved by so many people? What is the origin of curry? Then come with me to explore.

Curry originated in India. Curry is a transliteration of Tamil, which means seasoning. Compound seasoning is made of turmeric as the main raw material and various spices (such as coriander seed, cinnamon, pepper, white pepper, fennel, star anise and cumin). It tastes hot and sweet, and has a special fragrance. Mainly used for cooking beef and mutton, chicken, duck, crab, potato, cauliflower, soup and so on. It is a common seasoning for Chinese and western food. Curry is an essential condiment in many countries in Southeast Asia.

There are many kinds of curry, divided by country, and the producing areas are India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and so on. There are red, blue, yellow and white by color, and more than ten kinds of curry with different flavors by details of ingredients. When these different spices are mixed together, all kinds of unexpected and rich curry flavors can be formed.

India, Indonesia and China were the first countries to produce spices, among which India was the best. Why India has made such great achievements in spices is believed to be due to their hot and humid climate all the year round. Hot weather not only greatly reduces people's appetite, but also makes food easy to deteriorate and breed bacteria. Adding spices to food can not only increase the color and taste of food, but also promote the secretion of gastric acid, greatly increase appetite and make food more durable, which is suitable for the climate in India.

Curry is the crystallization of various spices. This is because the main meat in India was mutton with a very strong smell at first, and a single spice failed to remove its smell, so it was cooked with thick juice made of a variety of dry spice powders, but the effect was surprisingly good. This is the origin of Tamir Curry. "Cali" means "sauce made of different spices"-now translated as "curry" by China people.

Curry originated in India. The word "curry" comes from Tamil, which means "many spices are cooked together". Indian folklore says curry was created by Buddha Sakyamuni. Curry is used to help Indians who don't eat pork and beef because its pungent taste can help mask the fishy smell of mutton. In Tamil, "Kali" means "sauce". Early India was ruled by the Mongolian Empire, during which the eating habits brought from Persia (now Iran) influenced the Indian cooking style until now.

Generally speaking, in southern India, ku rly is spelled in English, while in Tamil Nadu province in southern India, ku rly is spelled as KALRI, which is a staple food with gravy or sauce, rice or bread. There is also a saying that this word exists in the cooking literature of Old English14th century, and it is spelled KULY and comes from French kuile (literally translated as cooking).
