I remember the first time I made curry. It was a total epic fail! Because it was so good, I was determined to get it right. I also found myself spending a lot of money on it when eating out at restaurants compare to many other dishes. One of the main ingredients (curry) of the meal originated in the Indian subcontinent. Curry dishes were prepared and served in the Southern States of India. I have not made my own curry from scratch but I’ve learned how to pick out the best one in the store through experimenting with different seasonings. Curry ingredients usually include ground tumeric, cumin, coriander, and chillies. One day I will try to make it on my own, for now I use a specific brand named “Blue Mountain”. Through research I’ve learned that curry was carried to the Caribbean by Indian indentured workers in the British sugar industry (Yikes). The rice in this meal has origins from China and India. China was the first place to farm rice, from there people learned how to grow it in Vietnam, Thailand, and India. To date even further back in 2500 BC people grew rice in the Ganges valley in India. This crop has been used to feed many people for a very long period of time. And is the most popular for feeding It is seen as a source of nutrition and tradition. Interestingly, rice comes from the seed of grass species Oryza stiva (Asian rice) and is widely consumed through the world.
