    I mean…

    Yeah, if I compared a pizza to a bowl of ice cream they’d be pretty different…

    But curry is pretty much the only popular Indian food worldwide, everything else was invented in those other countries, it’s not really from India. Or like butter chicken was invented by a foreigner who moved to India.

    If a dish is invented in a foreign country to appeal to the taste of foreigners…

    It’s really hard to attribute it to the country of origin, or the country of invention. It’s literally Taco Bell. Often it takes the country it’s portrayed as from for a long ass time to even hear about it.

    Like, I forget which one but maybe it’s chicken Alfredo? Some dish that is sold in Italian restaurants in other countries for so long, and tourists wouldn’t stop asking for it in Italy, that now it’s actually in Italian restaurants just to keep tourists happy

    But back to curry, most people I know like curry, but prefer Thai to Indian.

    Which is all I said, but apparently I did a very bad job of saying it if so many of you didn’t get it.

      Indian curry is a gravy while Thai curry is a soup and the flavor profiles of their curries largely have no overlap.

      They both are amazing.
