History
Curry first came from India. In the 18th century, British colonialists in India brought the idea of curry to the Western world.
In the West
Curry has been adopted into many other cuisines. Dishes that are often called curries in Europe and America are rarely called curries in their native languages.
In the United Kingdom and Jamaica, curry is usually eaten with Basmati rice or naan, a type of flat bread.
A curry dish called Balti, which may have originated in Birmingham, United Kingdom, has been dubbed Britain’s de facto national dish.[1]
