Curries are a worldwide known cuisine. Originating from all over Asia with their different variations. It is a type of gravy, stew or sauce. The flavour profiles are unmatched, varying from sweet, savoury and spicy. South Asian, African, Caribbean and pan-Asian curries all have their identities. It’s great to showcase and celebrate this type of food. The first national curry week took place in October 1998. Founded by Peter Grove. As you may know just in south Asia alone there are numerous amount of curries, but from what I’ve found there are only three main ones (Red, Yellow and Green). This is due to the ingredients used.
Coming from an east African background, there are influences from south Asians from spices to methods. I love the use of coconut milk, and with curries, it’s a winning combination. As there are a lot of spices and various seasonings being used one would think it’s not healthy at all but it kind of is. With the various spices it actually brings a high in anti-inflammatory compounds so this boosts street, boosts heart health and improves blood sugar levels.
