Re: You just can't handle the spice. Stephen Send a noteboard - 13/07/2011 04:10:31 AM
Kidding. But what do you mean when you say curries specifically? I always get confused about how Non-Indians/Westerners use that term. There are very few things I call a curry, but it seems to me that Westerners use it as a generic term for most Indian dishes.


I think most classify a curry as a catchall term for anything asian with the tiniest hint of any seasoning or spice.

My understanding would be more along the lines of something with a kind of sauce/gravy. Pakoras, dal and a lot of veggie dishes wouldn't be in my definition, but kind of fall in the broad, generic definition.

Yeah, I only tend to call a non-vegetarian dish with sauce/gracy a curry. *NM* AliasRY - 13/07/2011 09:53:26 AM 202 Views
