📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Boller i karry means 'balls in curry': a Danish home dish of boiled ground pork meatballs simmered in a curry-flavored cream sauce made from the cooking liquid. Since curry powder arrived through trade with India in the 19th century, this mild curry has become a distinctly Danish dish. It's eaten with white rice.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a weekday dinner, Danish schoolchildren come home to the smell of yellow curry sauce drifting from the kitchen and cheer.
