Traditional ingredients in curry powder

                Curry is a word used to describe many spiced dishes from Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and areas in southern Asia.  Several ingredients are found in most curry powders, such as:
~ Turmeric
~ Coriander
~ Cumin
Also,
~ Nutmeg
~ Mustard
~ Anise
~ Fennel,
           And yogurt are also included.  Others are added based on geographic location and availability of foods.  In India, curry is usually eaten with rice.  If you lived by a body of water, you might have fish curry, but in northeast India, yak is a popular meat. When the British were in control of India, their cuisine influenced traditional and created British Curry Houses.  These use a sauce as common base for all the dishes, and the spices are added after the individual dish is prepared.
