Curry

I enjoy curry. Curry is complex. There are many varieties of the spice and many dishes. Curry is a blend of spices. Turmeric seems to be a central ingredient and is what gives curry the characteristic yellow color.

Actually I read that 4 spices are central to the curry flavor profile: 

turmeric, coriander, cumin, and fenugreek

Moving beyond thinking of curry as a spice blend, I ran across this statement: 

Traditional curries are actually a cooking method.
This is interesting. Not a spice, or spice mex. Not a dish either, but a method.
