After cooking curry eggplant with potatoes, I was intrigued and started to look for a simple description and some history of this mix of spices. To my surprise, I learned that there are two different things called "curry". For Indians, curry is a sauce used to accompany rice and was originally called kari - word of which it is believed the word curry is derived. On the other hand, curry powder is a blend of spices and is from British origin. Most recipes for curry powder include coriander, turmeric, fenugreek, and cumin. In addition they can have other ingredients like mustard seeds, ginger and garlic. In India, the combination of spices is called garam masala and does not follow only one specific recipe, it depends on the region and family traditions.
