What Curry really means?

Curry to most people is a rich, flavorful gravy that usually has vegetables or meat, that you generously pour over rice. Sound familiar? It’s a term you usually use to refer to any dish in Indian cuisine, kind of like a generic category.

Is a curry healthy?

The spice blend is rich in anti-inflammatory compounds and consuming it may help reduce oxidative stress, boost heart health, and improve blood sugar levels, among other potential benefits. The best part is that curry powder makes an excellent addition to a wide array of recipes
