British invention anyway. Curry powder from the British occupying forces in Berlin.

Gern gesehen.

But "Currywurst" (curry sausage) was invented in Berlin. Indian wouldn't use curry powder without vegetables in this way, or currypower at all (correct me if I'm wrong)

I'm no expert either, but yeah, I believe the lazy method of making the curry dish (Indian, Thai etc.) is to use curry paste. Our curry powder barely resembles the taste of the curry dish. In particular, it's lacking tons of chili. 🫠

I was once explained that curry in the Indian sense is a rice vegetable dish with a lot of spices. To make it easier for the Brits, the powder was developed so that you don't need all the fresh spices.

Curry in India is usually a side-dish served with rice or chapathi (flatbread). It contains a lot of vegetables, various herbs and spices, and optionally fish or meat. But the rice itself is not a part of the curry. Also we do use curry powder, mainly when we don't have time or space to mix the spices properly.

Did you read the entire sentence "the British occupying forces in Berlin"

British. In Berlin.

Who do you think had lots of curry powder?

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 2 points 11 months ago

Curry powder is a British invention, Currywurst is German, only possible with the British but still a German invention

I understand that's what people need to believe.
