-Excerpt: In his book Ugandan Asians, Dr. Vali Jamal says curry powder was introduced to Uganda by Indian traders at the turn of the century. He points out that it was until the Indians constructing the railway turned-up, that curry powder became widely available as the new railway-builder-turned-traders began dealing in it in big quantities.
Chapati: According to Jamal, the oil roasted unleavened flat bread was also an introduction of the Indians.
Dr. Jamal writes in his book that the Indians who came to build the railway carried their culinary traditions along and the chapati was one of those aspects that Ugandans most fell in love with. It should also be noted that the Ugandan chapati has gone through a transition that makes it distinct from its Asian parent. –More.
