curryBy Hosanna Kabakoro TimesNews correspondent

Dinner preparation in the Shah household is a family affair. Twenty-three-year-old Mon Shah talks in Nepali as she whacks chicken into bite- sized pieces with a large cleaver. Prava Shah, her mother-in-law, quietly lis- tens while frying a sizzling paste of chili powder, garlic and turmeric. Binita Shah, 12, chops what looks like a mountain of red onions, as 8- year-old Bipen hovers under- foot hoping for a taste. The smoke from the frying chili paste can be smelled from the Bipen Shah, 8, relishes a plate of Mon Shah’s chicken curry. The parking lot of their Twin Falls curry sauce that Mon makes can be used with a variety of apartment. meats, and she prefers lamb and chicken. “In Nepal, we used a mor- tar and pestle made of stone to make our chili paste, but A key ingredi- here in America, I like to use a ent to Mon blender.

The Shahs won’t be the only Idahoans eating curry tonight. At Prasai’s Thai Cuisine in Twin Falls, fragrant bowls of red, yellow and green curry are whisked from the steam- ing kitchen to eager patrons. Most Thai curries rely on coconut milk, shrimp paste, kaffir lime leaves, galangal and lemongrass for flavor. “Some people say Thai curry is not as hot as Indian curry,”said Prasai’s owner Rick Johnson. “We serve seven kinds of curry, and cus- tomers can get it mild or blis- teringly hot, depending on their preference.” Another version of curry is found in many Korean homes. Made with large chunks of potatoes, onion, carrots and beef, Korean curry — perhaps the mildest of all curries with a distinct cinnamon flavor — is served over rice with kim- chi, a fermented cabbage and chili condiment. Mon Shah prepares chicken with a makeshift block of wood and a cleaver. She says she prefers this method because it is how she has always prepared the meat for her curry sauce. See CURRY, Food 2 CURRY QUESTIONS What is curry? Curry, or kari, is not so much a dish as a cooking method. Kari traditionally refers to a meat or vegetable cooked in spicy gravy. Curry can be made wet or dry and can be centered around almost any main ingredi- ent including vegetables — potatoes, carrots, beans, Mon Shah squash — or meats like lamb, chicken, fish, shrimp, and her beef, duck or goat. mother- in-law, Where did curry originate? Prava There are many theories about the origin of kari, with Shah, the most common being that kari originated in the make a southern part of India in Tamil Nadu.Today, you can find variations of curry in Korea, Indonesia, Thailand, curry dish Portugal, Nepal and even Twin Falls. Aug. 3 at their Is all curry hot and spicy? home in No. You may make your curry to suit the taste of your Twin Falls. family. In Thailand, the heat of a curry dish is deter- mined by the color of the paste used to make it. Green curry, made with fresh basil and green chilis, is typically the hottest, and yellow curry, made with turmeric, coriander and lemongrass, is usually quite mild. Some curries, such as potato curry, use little or no chili and are thus usually served to younger family members.
