It has often been said that curry is the new national dish of Britain and it’s certainly easy to see why. Since the 1970s, curry houses have become a staple of high streets up and down the country and millions of curries are consumed every single week. The love affair shows no signs of slowing and that’s what we’re celebrating with National Curry Week!
