Answer 1

Curry is essentially a spicy dish, usually with lots of gravy but also in drier forms, made with different spices and seasonings. It can be made using various meats & poultry, seafood or vegetables.

There are many different types of curries based on different cooking methods & seasonings, ranging from the extremely mild beefstew-like Japanese curries, heavily seasoned Indian curries using predominantly dried spices (powdered form of coriander, cumin, fennel seed, cinnamon, cloves, fenugreek, chilli powder, turmeric etc), to curries using fresh herbs & spices (eg. fresh chilli, ginger, turmeric, lemongrass, galangal, shallots, kaffir lime leaves etc) in South East Asia (Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia & Singapore are famous for curry in that region). To thicken curries, Indian curries use plain yogurt, while SE Asian curries use coconut milk (which also imparts its own delicious taste & fragrance).

Curry can be eaten with many different accompaniments eg. steamed rice, noodles, pasta, bread, Asian pancakes & pan-fried flat breads.
