Different Types Of Indian Curries Available All Over World

India is the land of curries. With the amalgamation of so many cultures and traditions, we've also been introduced to their style of cooking, their flavours and delicacies. Whether you love eating chicken or paneer, the delicious curry that it's cooked in brings in most of its flavours.

And while you might feel that all curries are the same, there are distinct differences that makes one better than the other. Here's your guide to the kinds of curries for the Dine In Option In Christies.

Dhansak

Dhansak is originally made under Parsi cuisine. In this curry, a mixture of lentils is cooked with meat - either chicken or mutton, along with vegetables and flavourful spices. It is usually served with caramelised brown rice. In Parsi culture, this dish is never made during festivities or happy occasions, as no meat consumed for three days after the death of a family member and dhansak is used to break this abstinence on the fourth day.

Tikka Masala

Definitely one of the Best Indian Curriesthat is available in restaurants across the nation. Preferably consumed with chicken and mutton (although it is also commonly consumed with paneer), this curry uses skewered meat that's cooked in a tandoor giving it a smoky essence. There are many origin-stories for this iconic recipe. Some say that it was originated in Punjab, while many say that it was originally made in by the South-Asian community in Scotland. Whatever may be the origin, the Tikka Masala never disappoints on a dinner table.

Dhansak

Dhansak is originally made under Parsi cuisine. In this curry, a mixture of lentils are cooked with meat - either chicken or mutton, along with vegetables and flavourful spices. The curry has a distinct sweet and sour taste. It is usually served with caramelised brown rice. In Parsi culture, this dish is never made during festivities or happy occasions, as no meat consumed for three days after the death of a family member and dhansak is used to break this abstinence on the fourth day.

Jalfrezi

A jalfrezi curry is another unique and flavourful curry recipe where onions and spices are stir-fried in hot vegetable oil before meat, or vegetables, are added along with tomatoes, fresh green chillies and capsicum.The stir-fry style of cooking makes the jalfrezi taste fresh and yummy.

Vindaloo

Vindaloo has to be one of the Best Vindaloo Curries on this list. Originally from the Portuguese colony of Goa, vindaloos go with only a few spices in abundant quantities to produce an incredibly hot dish. The name is derived from the Portuguese 'carne de vinhad'alhos' which literally means "meat in garlic wine marinade". Later in India, the wine got replaced with palm vinegar and the addition of red chilli peppers making it spicier. While it is hot, it is insanely flavourful and lip-smacking till its last bite.
