A Brief History of Curry

The first found traces of “proto-curry” claim to be from an ancient Eastern civilization (located within today’s India). This proto-curry originally comprised of cooked ginger and turmeric. But these flavors soon spread outside of India, to Thailand and beyond.

As that spreading was going on, the UK also overheard of the East’s fascination with “kari” (original word for a thin, spiced sauce to go over rice). So the British meshed it the word “cuire” (French word for “to cook”)… and then proceeded to use their newfangled word “cury” to mean any saucy dishes. (1)

Eventually, the European confusion dissolved in the explosion of flavor that true curry recipes bring. And the English language conceded their dispute of definitions into our common “curry”…which now refers to the intense yet beautiful flavor concoction that we know and love today.

Thai Curry vs Indian Curry – What’s the Difference?

As mentioned, the two off-shoots of the original dabbling with curry flavors became established by Indian and Thai cuisines. (2)

Indian curry is dry spice based, generally expected to include:

• coriander,
• turmeric,
• cumin,
• fenugreek, and
• chili peppers.

Because of the dry spice ingredients, Indian curries are often cooked for longer periods of time to incorporate flavor. (Also, if you love Indian foods, then check out our list of Keto Indian recipes here).

Thai curry is paste based (curry paste and fresh herbs) and often contains:

• coconut milk,
• dried red chilies,
• coriander seeds,
• cumin seeds,
• garlic,
• lemongrass, and sometimes
• shrimp.

Because of the milk and paste already having saturated flavors, Thai curries tend to need short cooking times than Indian curry.

Clearly Curr-Ageous – The Benefits of Curry Powder

Enjoying curry goes beyond flavor appreciation.

Our Westernized spice blend for this dish is somewhat of a combination of the saturated flavor from Thailand and the deep flavors of India. The result is a very easy to use and versatile spice blend (called “curry powder” in most supermarkets).

But the spices used in curry powders (especially the curcumin in turmeric) can provide certain other potential health benefits, like:

• digestive aid
• liver detoxification
• anti-aging
• fights bacteria and infections (3)
• increases metabolism
• pain relief
• heart and bone strengthening
• improves cognitive function (4)

In fact, we love the health benefits of turmeric so much we created our own Turmeric Soothe supplement.
