Curry is often served with rice.
Curry refers to a number of Indian and Asian dishes, as well as to the herb and spice blends used to make them. These complex blends vary from region to region--but are usually made from freshly ground and pulverized herbs and spices.
Features
Curry powder usually contains only dried spices, while curry paste contains fresh components such as oil, herbs and liquid flavorings. This gives it a more intense taste than curry powder.
Components
Indian curries usually contain cumin, red pepper and other spices, while Asian curries contain lemon grass, coconut milk and other flavorings.
Uses
Both curry paste and curry powder can be used to make curry. It is common practice to "wake up" aromas in curry powder by briefly simmering it with oil, onions or fresh herbs. Curry paste needs no processing before it can be added to other ingredients.
Types
Curry mixes are most often sold in paste form, while Indian curry blends are more often available in powdered form
Variants
Japan, Iran, Indonesia, Vietnam, China, Malaysia and the West Indies also have curry variants.
