Different types of curry

Originally Asian, we think of curry as being a spice when it is actually a blend of various spices. Turmeric gives its powerful yellow colour to the famous curry powder. Please note that curry leaves are not related: not so famous, they come from a citrusy tree.

Indian & Madras curry

They both come from India, are visually very similar, but the traditional Indian curry contains chili pepper, making it a perfect combination to coconut milk, when Madras curry is a sweet curry that adds fragrance to dishes.

Thai curry

In Thailand, curry is usually a coconut-based paste. There are many versions, the most popular being the green curry paste made of chili pepper, garlic, ginger and combava. Red and yellow curry pastes are sweeter.

Katsu-curry

Japanese katsus designate any dish made of battered and fried meat. Traditionally served with a curry sauce, it is usually very fragrant and even sometimes contain fruits like dates.
