      @अंकित तिवारी firstly, you're wrong. All brits don't call all Indian dishes as 'curry'.
      Secondly, curry isn't a strictly Indian thing, there is hundreds of cultures that use garlic, ginger and onions as a base to there dishes.
      As a brit, who loves Indian and Bangladeshi food, its clear to see that 'curry houses' in Britain don't actually serve traditional style foods and actually only serve the easiest prepared meals which are 'curries' and some tandoori options because it's a big profit margin for them. Can't blame the consumer for not knowing what's beyond the menu, I'm lucky enough to have lived next door to a great family who invited me for dinner pretty much daily.

      tolerance of jhaal taste (or hot food as you call in english) is a practice. Western people typically can not tolerate chillies and peppers because their diet is heavily sweet based. They use things like cheese, milk and sugar with almost everything. But are not used to the hot spices, or any other form of spices for their everyday meal. I would assume that's why they find it difficult to digest and tolerate foods that are hot compared to their palate. I remember, some months ago when I went to subway and ordered a sub, I asked for the hottest sauce they might have since as a Bangladeshi student living in the US, everything tastes bland to me and none of them are hot(not even the slightest actually). She gave me a weird look and said sirracha is very hot. As I confusedly replied, really, it's hot? She looked as though I was crazy and said that she feels sorry for my stomach! 😕I wanted to tell her, if she thinks of sirracha this way, she would definitely have a heart attack seeing what my everyday meal was back home! lol

    The immense complexity of Indian cuisine comes from its dozen or so very different climatic zones. The peninsular half of India has a richer diversity of ingredients due to its subtropical and tropical ecosystems (say, the variety of freshwater fish from the Bengal river delta). However, it is also more difficult to reproduce outside India. Hence, up to first order approximation, we curry on.

      I am sorry man but none of the western countries actually have authentic Indian, Bangladeshi or Pakistani cuisine to be honest. Even if they want to they can not cause the ingredient and spices itself tastes vastly different. I am a Bangladeshi student who came to the US a year ago and I am still mourning for my food to be honest. Nothing tastes good to me compared to my Bangladeshi food. Even the deshi restaurants that they have there tastes nothing like what they actually promote as 'authentic deshi food'.

    I am British and I love Indian food. I have been to India five times I think, and visited all major states except Gujurat. We have good Indian food in the UK and it is really not so different from the food I ate in India. So many South Asians live in the UK, and they also like to go to restaurants so of course the quality is high. Now I live in Spain where there are very few south Asians and the South Asian food here is terrible. There are no South Asians here to keep the quality up and Spanish people don't know what good Indian food tastes like. In conclusion, Indian food in the UK is decent, not only because white british people love it, but also because there are 6 million South Asians in the UK who also own and visit restaurants.

      Honestly, in the UK, it's extremely easy to order curry. The good thing is, Indian, Pakistani, Nepalese and Bangladeshi dishes are very different from each other, so the flavours and method towards dishes vary. Plus, even the way that curries are cooked here are different to India, but the quality of them are very high. Because it has been in our country for so long, that Brits are used to having a high quality curry. I know that some would argue that Brits don't know what a curry is? But, at the end of the day, it has been adapted for British taste and honestly, it really tastes good!

When I visited the UK and ordered lamb dhansak in a restaurant they gave it to me and I found whole pineapple slices in it. I was disgusted and asked the waiter what this was he told me this is how they make dhansak. In our religion dhansak is a dish typically eaten after a loss of a loved one. I firmly told him that his dhansak made the dead members of my religion cry. Plz don't put pineapple in dhansak or pizza

    The British literally invented the curry powder and sold it to the Indians, and I believe the word "Curry" in India means something completely different in India. The Europeans (Portugese) had introduced the Chilli to India from Mexico, Indians used black pepper before then.
    Most well-known spices came from the Mediterranean, Indonesia, Mexico, and west Asia (middle east). So yeah! I wouldn't call it "Indian spices", the Indians only came to use hot spice (Chilli pepper) because their ingredients would go rancid very quickly without a refrigerator so they covered up the rancid ingredients with chilli but traditional Indian is actually Black pepper (meaning before colonialism) as the main hot spice. The British never had to cover their veg and meat because the cold air kept them fresh so they always had a focus on fresher ingredients and bringing out the flavour of the veg rather than making a sauce to disguise the veg.
    I think colonial UK brought a type of Indian food to the UK that uses the British curry powder from the spice trading days, and that has become stereotyped as Indian food instead of British restaurants exploring the variety of dishes in India from region to region.

    A testament to exoticism, both past and present. Sad that curry first was reduced to just a blend of spices - and then to a handful of dishes that were labeled as "Indian". Just because your dish uses ingredients from a particular area you shouldn't slap "Indian" or "Italian" on it. There is more than just ingredients and adapted tastes that make it genuine.
    As someone who likes to cook, it is actually more about the style of preparing the sauce using a multitude of spices and ingredients native to a particular place. And when you learn about the spice trade, the Harapan civilization, and how many cultures created their own "curries" using the same basic spices (+ local ones) you feel how small your perspective has been.

  • @LymLevolveon
