There are many varieties of curries, depending on the region, cultural tradition, religious practices, and even family preferences. The traditional curry recipe dates back to thousands of years ago when only three basic ingredients were used to prepare curry: ginger, garlic, and turmeric.

How the curry will be prepared, served and the ingredients used vary from region to region. But, according to overall Indian tradition, curry is served with steamed rice and various Indian bread (such as naan or roti). Are you curious about our pick? Here they are:

Aloo Curry

Loved by almost every foodie, Tikka Masala is another traditional curry from India. The most common version of Tikka Masala is made with chicken (called Chicken Tikka Masala). The chicken is marinated and then grilled in Tandoor, giving the thick gravy sauce a smoky flavor.

Vindaloo

Palak Paneer

Don't be fooled by its dubious color — Palak Paneer is incredibly tasty. What gives its greenish look is the puree spinach gravy. The soothing aroma and savory taste of spinach gravy and cottage cheese is a must-try, especially for vegetarians.
