A curry is a popular dish that combines spices and sauce with ingredients like meat or vegetables. It's often served over rice.

You probably know someone who orders curry at their favorite Indian restaurant, but curries can also be made at home using pre-mixed spice blends or scratch recipes. In many countries, including India, Sri Lanka, and Southeast Asia, curry is a staple food that comes in different styles like red curry (made with coconut milk) or chicken tikka masala, which is more of an Indian-style take on the classic British dish. When you invite friends over for dinner, serving a homemade curry can be a fun and tasty way to mix things up from your usual meals.
