No self-respecting Indian restaurant has a &amp;quot;curry&amp;quot; on their menu. They would have a Palak Paneer or a Malai Kofta or a Murgh Makhani - all of which we lump into &amp;quot;curry&amp;quot; - but no &amp;quot;curry&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;- This is patently wrong. Curry is a South Indian word referring to vegetables originally (Malakkarry means vegetables). Come to Kerala - you have Moru Curry (Butter Milk Curry) , Erachi Curry (Beef Curry), Tharavu Curry (Duck Curry) etc. The author is a North Indian oblivious of curry history.&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;കറി വെപ്പാനെന്തുള്ളത് കാട്ടിൽ,

<instructions>Your goal is to analyze the following comment and estimate how highly it will be upvoted by the Hacker News community.</instructions><comment><author>brigandish</author><text>&amp;gt; So if you are craving for spice in Japan, try one of the two thousand &amp;quot;Indian&amp;quot; restaurants and you will not be disappointed.&lt;p&gt;Erm, if you&amp;#x27;ve had a proper curry recently then you probably will be. Like everywhere else, foreign foods get tailored to their locality or they die. If you fancy a naan filled with sugar and some pretty bland dishes then try an &amp;quot;Indian&amp;quot; restaurant in Japan. Which should come as no surprise, because plenty of other so-called spicy foods here are a) not spicy, and b) surprisingly&amp;#x2F;sadly, overly sweet.&lt;p&gt;That&amp;#x27;s not to say that you can&amp;#x27;t get a decent curry here, but you&amp;#x27;ll have to try harder than just walking into a random curry house. And this…&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; Indian restaurants outnumber the top 3 pizza chains of the country put together!&lt;p&gt;I think the only food more maligned by localisation in Japan than pizza could be Mexican food, which leads us back to spice and sugar. I&amp;#x27;m not sure what having more curry houses than pizza huts &lt;i&gt;in Japan&lt;/i&gt; proves. It would mean something in the US or Italy, but in Japan?&lt;p&gt;Tastes differ.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>The roots of Japan&apos;s Indian curry</title><url>https://one-from-nippon.ghost.io/indo-curry/</url></story>
