Curries
Curry, from the Tamil word Kari, meaning sauce, generally refers to a dish cooked in a blend of aromatic spices. Although originally from the Indian Subcontinent, Curries are culturally significant throughout Asia, Africa & the Caribbean.

To prepare a simple curry sauce:

Chop onions (plus shallots and/or garlic as desired), and sauté on medium heat in olive oil until softened.

Add a curry spice blend to achieve the level of spiciness you desire.

Add chopped tomato, if desired, and cook until soft.

Add a liquid or combination of liquids, (coconut milk, stock, yogurt, tea infusions or water).

Pour over your preferred meat and/or vegetables in a casserole dish. Cover and place in a 375° oven until cooked, usually around 45 minutes.
