Curry is a broad term used to describe a variety of spice-seasoned dishes originating from different regions around the world, including East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia.
In Southeast and East Asia, curries are widespread and can vary significantly in terms of ingredients, flavours, and spiciness levels. That said, they usually feature a combination of meat, seafood, and vegetables cooked together with a curry paste - consisting of spices, herbs, and aromatics and a sauce base. Curries are commonly served with rice, bread, or noodles.
Curries are great at showcasing the culinary traditions of each region, with each country offering its own unique interpretation, such as the rich and thick Japanese curry, the fragrant and spicy Thai curries, or the complex and bold flavours of Indonesian rendang.
