Yep, brilliant for vegetarians like me! I remember my dad taking me to a vegetarian Indian restaurant when I was 14 and couldn't believe everything was vegetarian and suitable for me to eat!
Curry is a British word. *Kari* is the actual word for the dish. And btw, I recommend you see most popular Indian dishes and as a Brit you'll be surprised what they are
@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.
I would say that that's a good comparison. I had watched a video from Quartz on UA-cam that discussed the rise in Chinese eateries that went beyond the Americanized cooking of it. It's a pretty interesting video
“Long time traders” is one way to call colonialism. India had traded with China, Middle East, Africa for centuries but Europe didn’t trade harmoniously, they were colonisers
I'd eat it every single day and would never complain. The variations of 'curry' is so vast you can never get bored. From Mauritius to Sri Lanka and then through indian and Pakistan. Even the carribean have incredible curry.
@@Sumit-rp5mxnot really.. Indian cuisine include dishes from everyoarts of India...fake Indian restaurants ( Bangladeshi run) don't serve south indian foods !?
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 find it hilarious that chicken tikka masala, a dish that is not only Indian in its name(chicken tikkas are a well known dish and masala is so Indian) but in the ingredients and flavors that are close to so many Indian dishes but still claiming to be a British dish just by substituting tomato sauce with tomato soup! Adding cream is so often done in Indian cuisine. Can people at least acknowledge its Indian origin? Talk about cultural appropriation!!!
whereever the chola empire army and navy went they bought with them the tamil cooking recipes with then ,ifvyou look at chola empire it was hugging the eastern coastal regions og indian landmass passing thru present andhra,odisa,bengal snd south east asian countries of myanmar,thailand now malaysia,indonesia upto southern philipines.
Now britain owns it and also names british national dish chicken tikka masala as there own. Irony is not single ingredients or spices originate from england.
It's insufferable leftists that want to seem "progressive" and "international" that do that, most people have the sense to know that it's Indian, not British.
The word "curry" comes from Tamil and originally referred to a dish made with protein, whether meat or plant-based. In English and other Indian languages, it is used to describe a stew or protein-based preparation.
The curries you find in British Indian restaurants are disgusting and are nothing like the real thing. Most of them lack any spice and some of them are actually sweet. I ordered a Matar Paneer. Paneer is an Indian kind of cheese, cut into cubes but somehow I got grated cheddar cheese instead !
That's because loads of them try save money on spices and think Brits can't tell the difference,I can make a Madras style curry better than my my local takeaway ..who is some Bangladeshi guy who ain't the best cook
I think it's like a britishized version of curry. Just like sushi in America is different from original sushi from Japan, or how spaghetti Verde which is a Mexican dish that is a play on Italian spagetthi.
Bangladeshis own 90%+ of the 12k curry houses in UK. Literally run the industry, they do. Also the curry houses business contributes 5 billion to UK 🇬🇧 economy per year.
Yes very true and the late Enam Ali was the founder of the British Curry Awards, Spice Magazine and own of the Le Raj restaurant in Epsom. Bangladeshis rule the curry industry and actually the (Bangladeshi Bengali word for curry is Tarkari) Sylhetis don’t call our dishes curry we call it Takari which is the authentic name in Bengal 🇧🇩

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.
I'm honestly a little jealous of my British friends on this subject: As an American it's not nearly as easy to get good Indian food on this side of the pond, whereas over there it seems incredibly easy.
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!

Fun story for yall: I'm a zoroastrian living in India we pride ourselves on dish called dhansak. 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
Ya, if a hen stops laying eggs she is made into curry . Maybe if she was aware of that she would have made more eggs. I think it is just a process. I don't think the hen really had anything to do with it, accept she was the one laying the eggs.
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.
British didn't sell "curry powder" to Indians, there's no such thing as "curry powder" in India. Every region uses custom blend of spices. Curry powder is an poor attempt to imitate Indian dishes.
No you don't know anything You are ahamed of the fact that British food is disgusting so you are stealing indian food Britishers didn't invented curry Indians were eating curry centuries befor Britishers came in
We got the Brits hooked on spices lol. What do you expect to happen when a country (whose only 'spice' consisted of salt) discovers that there is a whole cuisine that has way more flavour than whatever they've bee eating before.
The British Navy. Japan and the UK started to become pretty friendly in the late 19th century, and a bunch of British sailors introduced their version of curry to Japanese sailors, who in turn adapted it to Japanese tastes.
@@KrasMazovHatesYourGuts Wow I guess British also introduced Buddhism to Japan? Whole of east Asia used to trade with each other since the time of Romans at least, curry travelled the same route Buddhism did, mostly from east and south Indian traders.
@@priyesh12tiwary51 'Curry' didn't exist in East Asia because the concept of 'curry' is a largely Western distortion of various culinary traditions of East Asia.
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.
Actually curry and cooked vegetables (sabji/bhaaji in Indian languages) are two different dishes. Since foreigners don't know different names of different sabjis/bhaajis, they gave a generic term to it as "Curry", but it's not curry at all.

@@Sumit-rp5mx I will have to try Nepali food
Ya, if a hen stops laying eggs she is made into curry . Maybe if she was aware of that she would have made more eggs. I think it is just a process. I don't think the hen really had anything to do with it, accept she was the one laying the eggs.
Thank you for existing
My life is better because of it❤

how fast do you speak?
she talks a bit too slow in my opinon
at the early stage the british curry stuck to indian spices blending meaty stews with a variety of ingredients but nonetheless without what?
NICE
Bangladeshis rule the curry trade in the UK, USA and other countries.
Using Spicy Sauce
Curry is a Tamil world
Most of westerners who talk of curry just don’t know what is curry leaves 🍂, without it , what is curry ?
In madhya pradesh India we call curry to hot buttermilk with spices
Nice bro keep it up
Dave Lister brought me here.
Did you know there is about 4 indian restaurants in israel?
And 2 are in tel aviv...
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.
British didn't sell "curry powder" to Indians, there's no such thing as "curry powder" in India. Every region uses custom blend of spices.
Curry powder is an poor attempt to imitate Indian dishes.
No you don't know anything
You are ahamed of the fact that British food is disgusting so you are stealing indian food
Britishers didn't invented curry
Indians were eating curry centuries befor Britishers came in
😂😂😂😂😂😂 I am not even Indian but let me laugh a bit first cause your comment is hilarious!
Curry powder???? It's Masalas. Search what masalas are.
correct
Hi from Philippines, we have our version of Chicken Curry, its tasty
Why do Bangladeshi’s run Indian restaurants and pretend to be Indian? They’re two different countries
Great
We traded with india is a Fancy way of saying "we colonized them and had a liking for their food"
Interesting brief overview but also not entirely correct
It's not "curry" it's "Cuddhi".
Cuddhi is different
Poda koodhi
Kadhi pakoda

Kedgeree is a British/indian dish.

The Curry From India
Looking delicious n tempting recipe watching fully n hope to c u around my 🏡
Please make videos on photography 😄
We got the Brits hooked on spices lol. What do you expect to happen when a country (whose only 'spice' consisted of salt) discovers that there is a whole cuisine that has way more flavour than whatever they've bee eating before.
Dalek: "Put it in the curry!"
Nice mitt you
Can anyone tell how the term spread to east asia and now we have Japanese curry ?
The British Navy. Japan and the UK started to become pretty friendly in the late 19th century, and a bunch of British sailors introduced their version of curry to Japanese sailors, who in turn adapted it to Japanese tastes.
@@KrasMazovHatesYourGuts Wow I guess British also introduced Buddhism to Japan? Whole of east Asia used to trade with each other since the time of Romans at least, curry travelled the same route Buddhism did, mostly from east and south Indian traders.
@@priyesh12tiwary51 'Curry' didn't exist in East Asia because the concept of 'curry' is a largely Western distortion of various culinary traditions of East Asia.
The indians are asking What is Curry by the way?
Not Tamil Kari but from Punjabi Tari also.
Sir Author Curry.
this episode is so up its self "rather ingoring diffrent flavours textures etc" like bruh
As an Indian I don't even know what is curry .......
Most of Indians learned word curry from Foreigners. 😂. I think like we calls our vegetables daily dishes as Sabji. They calls it curry.
anything with gravy (ikr)
*Chicken Curry Rice*
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.
Actually curry and cooked vegetables (sabji/bhaaji in Indian languages) are two different dishes. Since foreigners don't know different names of different sabjis/bhaajis, they gave a generic term to it as "Curry", but it's not curry at all.
britain may conquered india by war, but india conquered britain by curry
Lol we don't have anything like curry 😂😂😂
Moat "Indian" resturants are Pakistani or bangali
0:29 gee mummy, did we do a bad thing????
Not all Indian dishes are curry...Mostly South Indian gravies are called kari
OTR has a better and more video on the history of curry.
Curry earliest evidence from Indus valley.
0:11 Very misleading image with a muslim-like attire, the Arabia-like music and the Taj while the voice-over is about authentic Indian Tamil curry.
BBC never misses a chance to corrupt Indian history and representation! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Curry is tamil Word 😮
Tharkhari is the word used for 'curry' by Bangladeshis. I have a feeling they dropped the thar and just used the khari, which now is know as curry.
"Khari" As a bengali my mind is blown
@tcrijwanachoudhury you didn't know? Also, in Trinidad, they use the word tulkari.
The word curry comes from the tamil word "kari".
What is this? Sounds way too rushed. and I’m not even a liberal.
How fast do you speak po? Yawa 5x ko na pinapa ulit ulit 😬
I prefer Thai curries ;) But Indian curries aren't bad.
For being a doc by british people this is strangely anti british... it this just how you guys do it around there?
North india be like :-- what is curry
