The Journey Begins: India
The first leg of my culinary journey begins in India, and when I think of Indian food, I of course first think of Chicken-Tikka Masala, Britain's national dish. But Masala is an anglicized take on Indian cooking traditions, which vary widely by region, and I want my first dish to be as authentic as I can verify it to be (short of carting myself of to a small, Indian village to have it made in front of me). So, with this in mind, I will be first attempting a curry, of which there are numerous varieties. I have attached a link that goes into the history of curry, the assemblage of spices, as well as the word itself (which may be purely English in origin). I found it to be a fascinating read--though the page looks like it might have been designed in 1997.
