📖 The Story Behind This Dish

About 40 percent of Guyana's population is of Indian descent, and curry came with those who arrived as indentured laborers in the 19th century. Guyanese curry fries curry powder, garam masala, and cumin and stews chicken and potatoes. Eaten with roti (flatbread) or rice, it's become a Sunday lunch staple.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At Sunday lunch in a Guyanese home, a full pot of chicken curry and fresh roti wrapped in cloth are set on the table.
