How an Indian Stew Shaped the Modern World: From Cleopatra to Queen Elizabeth

What is “curry”? How do you define a category that includes so many of the world’s most beloved dishes- from Thailand to India, Africa to the Caribbean? A category of coconut soups and onion-based stews, Thai-Khmer steamed fish mousse and even samosas and curry puffs? To find that answer, we look at the spices that link so many of the world’s diverse curries together, and trace those back to their point of origin- the Big Bang from where the entire world’s curry culture emerged. And we’ll also find out how the word “curry” entered the lexicon and why its use is so controversial and to some, so offensive. -Thanks to our guest, Chef Keith Sarasin.
