Description

Curry is a spice blend originating from the Indian subcontinent, widely used in South Asian cuisine and in various gastronomies around the world. This blend does not have a single recipe, but it commonly includes ingredients such as turmeric, cumin, coriander, fenugreek, mustard, and chili, which give it its characteristic warm, aromatic, and slightly spicy flavor.

Its origin dates back to India, where curry has been used for centuries to season dishes of meat, fish, and vegetables, as well as to prepare sauces and stews. With the expansion of British influence, curry became popular globally, adapting to multiple culinary cultures.

Regarding its properties, curry is known for its health benefits thanks to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and digestive spices, especially turmeric, which contains curcumin, a compound with positive effects for the immune system and overall health.

In the Hispanic world, this ingredient is recognized under different names or synonyms, although it is often simply called "curry". In some countries, it is also known as "spice mix" or "curry powder". Due to its versatility, it is common in recipes for rice, stews, soups, and casseroles, adding an exotic and spiced touch.
