Five Sharp

Curry Sunday dinners

Curry is not one dish or one cuisine. What the dinners here share is a method: whole or ground spices bloomed in fat to build a base, then liquid, then a long enough simmer for the sauce to come together. The word covers Goan vindaloo, Japanese kare, Thai coconut curries and a dozen regional Indian traditions that have little in common besides that opening move.
