Curry in the United Kingdom

Curry is a super tasty dish that's a bit like a stew, usually with lots of yummy spices! It first came to the United Kingdom from India a long, long time ago. People in the UK loved it so much that they started making their own versions.

It’s like when you share your favorite toy and everyone wants to play with it too! Some curries are mild and creamy, while others are super spicy, like a tiny firework in your mouth!

The very first recipe for curry in Britain was written down way back in 1747. That's older than your grandparents' grandparents! Then, more and more recipes popped up.

The first place that served curry, called a 'curry house', opened in London in 1810. That's over 200 years ago! It’s like a very old, very special restaurant that’s still around today.

Lots of people who came from Bangladesh also opened curry restaurants, making them super popular.

Curry is like a food superhero in the UK! It’s so loved that people sometimes call Chicken Tikka Masala, a very popular curry, the 'national dish' of Britain. That means it’s as famous as fish and chips!
