[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm interested in this as well. I'm Indian-American, and my entire life, no one Indian has ever used "curry powder," as found in the grocery store, in any dish - either here or family in India. I've recently found a number of British Indian recipes, and they all seem to use curry powder. It's really interesting. [/quote]

After colonization the British mixed the different species that they got used to India and called it curry.[/quote]

Yeah, that's true. I was just surprised that all these ethnically Indian British chefs have incorporated it into their recipes. I've used it a couple times in some restaurant-style curries and it does work well. [/quote]

It's convenient. And can taste pretty good.

Even had there been no British Raj introducing curry powder to Britain and thus the rest of the world, the Indians would have eventually introduced curry powders as they modernized and busy families don't have time for extensive cooking every day. All cuisines evolve and learn and borrow from others. [/quote]
