9 Indian Curries Make It To World’s 50 Best Stews List

TasteAtlas, an online food guide that ranks dishes, ingredients and more, has revealed a list of the 50 best stews in the world, with nine Indian curries making it to the list. A stew is a thick, hearty dish made with solid ingredients such as meat, fish or vegetables. It is slowly cooked in a small amount of liquid at a low temperature. It is simple, comforting and yet so flavourful.
