Curries are simply dishes seasoned with a combination of spices. They date back thousands of years to India and Persia. These spices can be any combination of herbs and spices such as: curry leaves, ground cumin, coriander, cardamom, turmeric, ginger and chilies. An Indian friend of mine once told me, “A curry is what spices you put in your cooking pot today.” 

You can either make homemade Masala Curry Spice or simply use some commercially prepared yellow curry powder and add a little extra turmeric.
