Crazy for Curry

WHEN TENDER MEAT or veggies meet a fragrant, boldly spiced sauce, you need fluffy basmati rice and pillowy naan bread to soak up every drop. 

Although it's one of the most globally famous foods-recipes hail from India, Thailand, Japan and the Caribbean-curry can be a conundrum.

"If you ask any Indian about curry, chances are they'll reply, 'Which one?'" says food editor Amrita Thakkar. "Curry was a blanket term used by the British during the era of colonization for a wide variety of foreign dishes. Indian cuisine simply doesn't have one singular dish called curry."
