Curry describes a lot of spicy vegetable and meat stews from places as far as the Indian subcontinent, the South Pacific, and the Caribbean Islands. There is a big disagreement about what actually constitutes in curry. How and when curry first appeared was a culinary mystery.

The word comes from kari  meaning sauce in Tamil, a South-Indian language. The region has a wide variety of savory dishes, 17^th century British traders defined curry as onion, ginger, turmeric, garlic, pepper, chilies, coriander, cumin, and other spices cooked with shellfish, meat, or vegetables.

But the original curry predates Europeans’ presence in India by about 4,000 years. Villagers living at the height of the Indus civilization used three key curry ingredients—ginger, garlic, and turmeric—in their cooking. This proto-curry, in fact, was eaten long before Arab, Chinese, Indian, and European traders plied the oceans in the past thousand years. Curry has a big history back ground all around the world they different types of curry all made different, that doesn't mean their wrong or bad it just means their different.
