Which Indian dish inspired British settlers in India to adapt a spice mixture (meant to help re-create the dish's flavor) that was turned into a commercial condiment? Correct Answer curry
Curry is a dish composed with a sauce or gravy seasoned with a mixture of ground spices that is thought to have originated in India and has since spread to many regions of the world. The foundation of many Indian curries is a mixture of onion, ginger, and garlic. That base is flavored with several spices, typically including cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, cumin, fennel seed, fenugreek, mustard seed, black and red (cayenne) pepper, and turmeric (which imparts a characteristic yellow color), all toasted and finely ground. Other ingredients may include curry leaves (Murraya koenigii), chilies, nutmeg, mace, poppy seed, star anise, and bay leaves. Each region of the country has its flavor profile. Although among Indian cooks the balance of flavors varies considerably depending on the region, the particular dish, and the preferences of the cook, a spice mixture called curry powder was adapted by British settlers in India. With commercial curry powder, British cooks could re-create the flavour of Indian cuisine.
