India is the country which gave the world one of the most delicious cusines – that is the Curry. In India one can have a good Indian curry for about US$1 to US$5, in a reasonably good restaurant. They say, the Indians don’t usually get surprised much – but if Indians hear the price of the world’s most expensive curry – they will get surprised too !

In these days of recession, most people are sacrificing the desire of their taste buds and going for inexpensive dishes like the Applebees Menu which suit their pockets. However, a top notch curry house in London – named Bombay Brasserie – has come up with an exotic seafood curry that costs over $4,000 (£2,000). The Seafood curry, named “Samundari Khazana” meaning Treasure of the Sea, contains ingredients like a whole lobster, devon crab, caviar, sea snails, cherry tomatoes and even edible gold – apart from rich spices.

As per report by Yahoo News, in spite of the recession, there are still curry connoisseurs out there in London who are willing to spend their money to try out this exotic curry. The curry recipe was based on the recipe of the owner’s mom, but this special curry has $800 worth of caviar, $175 worth lobster and edible gold worth more than $2,000 pressed onto the cherry tomatoes. It is these finest and expensive ingredients that contribute to the premium price for the curry.

The curry has been created to celebrate the DVD launch of Slumdog Millionaire, the Oscar winning movie which was set in India.
