Why Not the Curry?
At Not the Curry, we celebrate the incredible diversity of Indian cuisine beyond just "curry." While curry often defines Indian food globally, we believe there's so much more to explore—bold masalas, intricate gravies, and regional dishes that tell unique stories.
Our name is a statement: Indian cuisine isn’t monolithic. Each dish, whether it’s the fiery Chettinad Masala, the comforting Bisibelabath, or the hearty Andhra Tomato Pappu, reflects a rich culinary heritage that deserves the spotlight.
With Not the Curry, we aim to introduce you to the depth and variety of Indian flavours in a way that’s easy, authentic, and true to tradition. It’s not just food—it’s an experience that redefines how the world sees and enjoys Indian cuisine.
