Japanese curry (Karē) is less spicy, sweeter, darker, and usually thicker than Indian-style curry thanks to the addition of flour or roux and typically contains pork or beef, potatoes, carrots, and onions. Tonkatsu, or a deep-fried, breaded pork cutlet, is frequently served as the topping for a typical Japanese curry meal.

Indian dish, Butter Chicken, is prepared with marinated chicken that's first grilled and then served in a rich gravy made with tomato, butter, and a special spice blend as a base. Butter chicken uses tomato as a base and is cooked in butter, giving it a slightly sweet flavor. Cashews and almonds add to the sweetness and richness of the dish.

Thai curry consists of a spiced sauce or paste that blends aromatic spices, is mixed with protein and vegetables, and typically served with rice or noodles. The result is an array of intense, diverse flavors. Bright, fresh herbs like Thai basil and coriander and warm spices such as cumin and galangal offset the spicy heat of hot chilies, while sour citrus and citrus juices balance out the richness. The beauty of Thai curry lies in its unbounded variety, able to be customized according to how much heat, salt, sour, and sweet you enjoy.
