Beyond Curry - II

Tuesday, October 28, 2025 • Duration 24:23

In this episode, Ankita continues to explore global curry traditions. Beyond Curries II traces the evolution of curry beyond the Indian subcontinent — from the celebrated British curry and the refined French interpretations, to the island-inspired curries of East Africa, and the rich, layered flavors found across West and Southern Africa, the Caribbean, and Fiji.

Through each region, we examine how migration, trade, and colonial history have shaped local food cultures and created new expressions of what we call “curry” today. This episode offers a deeper look at how one culinary concept has adapted across continents while retaining its power to connect people through spice and story.

🎧 Acknowledgment:

A special thank you to Anuj Agarwal from FeedSpot for featuring Beyond Butter Chicken as #4 in BEST SPICE PODCASTS.
