Yellow Curry
A long time ago, there was a little boy named Abhijat Yuvraj. He always wanted to be just like his father when he got older. Abhijat's father was a businessperson; he would go into the big city every weekend to sell the crops grown on their farm. His father was a very well known man in town and was favored by the gods according to the townsmen. Abhijat wandered to himself, "Why not start now?" Abhijat went to his back yard to pick a crop that would be easiest for him to start with. First he went over to the potatoes, which he remembered his dad telling him he got them from the Philippines, thought they would be too heavy to carry around, but they were very tasty. Then he thought that maybe red peppers would be exciting, his dad told him they came from the Americas. However, they might be a little too spicy for customers wanting to buys a lot of them. Then, maybe he thought, something more simple from his hometown India would be much more convenient. He decided to start with cinnamon, onion, cumin spice, and turmeric because these ingredients were very primitive. His father let him come to the market one day and set up a little shop. Abhijat's little business turned into a worldwide exchange from the old world into the new world. That is how the yellow curry was able to get in front of me today.
