Curry flavors from various countries
India is considered the birthplace of curry, and authentic Indian curry is made with a blend of spices such as cloves, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, turmeric powder, and chili peppers. Due to the heavy use of ingredients and a small amount of coconut milk to reduce the spiciness, authentic Indian curry is known for its intense and rich flavor. The staple food paired with curry varies depending on the local agricultural products. For example, in Western India, it is often served with breads made from corn and millet; in the North, where wheat is abundant, bread is more common; while in the South or Southeast, rice is the main staple. The secret to the success of Indian curry lies in the combination of spices and the order of cooking, rather than in elaborate cooking techniques.
