When did curry come to England?

User Avatar

Asked by Helpmeeeexxxxxx

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, Indian dishes first came to the United Kingdom when British Settlers of India would return home with Indian Servants who would cook them the same exotic foods that they ate in India. Concurrently, Indian immigrants coming to the United Kingdom for advanced schooling and a better life, brought their recipes and cultures with them.

Curries, however, in the modern understanding, are a British modification of the traditional Indian recipes. This mass cultural shift and increase in the Britishization of Indian cuisine happened primarily in the 1970s and 1980s as Indian Immigration swelled in Britain and the British people became less culturally dismissive of them.

What is the difference between chili and curry powder?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There's a big difference between plain dried red chiles sold in a powdered form ("chili powder") and a real chili powder spice mix that's ready for Mexican dishes. Make sure you're getting the mix by checking for ingredients such as oregano, cumin, garlic, salt, and, of course, red chiles. Or make your own and try a blend of red peppers and additions like coriander, paprika, or cloves. Use it for any kind of appetizer or main dish that you want to have a smoky, warm flavor - and don't forget it for your chili! Chili powder is mild and red chili powder is dynomite!

What goes into a curry?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you mean the dish curry, different types of curry use different main ingredients, depending on the region of Asia or India you are in. Curry from the Punjab region, for instance, involves wheat instead of rice, and is heavy on the butter and cream. Malayali curry usually has coconut and coconut milk, as well as bay leaves. Tamil curry, however, is probably what most western people think of when they think of curry. Tamil curry refers to shallow-fried meat or vegetables cooked along with dry spices.

If you mean the spice curry (as in curry powder) there are several different versions of that, too. They usually include some hot spices, turmeric, cumin, and corriander but not always.

This depends in part on the exact spices used to make the curry powder, some of them may be water soluble. Generally speaking, however, curry powder is fat soluble. Your best bet is to add it to cooking oil and heat it slightly before adding the rest of the ingredients -- that will give you the best possible taste and fragrance.
