What is curry? Today, the word describes a bewildering number of spicy vegetable and meat stews from places as far-flung as the Indian subcontinent, the South Pacific, and the Caribbean Islands. There is little agreement about what actually constitutes a curry. And, until recently, how and when curry first appeared was a culinary mystery as well.
The term likely derives from kari, the word for sauce in Tamil, a South-Indian language. Perplexed by that region’s wide variety of savory dishes, 17th-century British traders lumped them all under the term curry. A curry, as the Brits defined it, might be a mélange of onion, ginger, turmeric, garlic, pepper, chilies, coriander, cumin, and other spices cooked with shellfish, meat, or vegetables.
Those curries, like the curries we know today, were the byproduct of more than a millennium of trade between the Indian subcontinent and other parts of Asia, which provided new ingredients to spice up traditional Indian stews. After the year 1000, Muslims brought their own cooking traditions from the west, including heavy use of meat, while Indian traders carried home new and exotic spices like cloves from Southeast Asia. And when the Portuguese built up their trading centers on the west coast of India in the 16th century, they threw chilies from the New World into the pot. (Your spicy vindaloo may sound like Hindi, but actually the word derives from the Portuguese terms for its original central ingredients: wine and garlic.)

wow, a bunch of wierdos
lol
A curry tree. Well, I never...
Before coffee?
:^)
As heretical as it is, I’ve been integrating Garham Marsala into my BBQ rubs and sauces.
Numerous cooks are combining Indian and SE Asian spices into southern style BBQ and Texas type grilling; for some reason the spices can really complement each other, perhaps because both cuisines evolved in hot climates.
What the heck is THAT?!
The Patel Motel....a huge chain, lol! I’ve been there, too.
I love vindaloo. I think it translates to “hot bliss” (I don’t care what the Portuguese say!)
My local Chinese restaurants makes a special “Curried Beef and Brocchli” dish for me. I eat it at least once per week.
I once ascended 2 flights of stairs in a crappy apartment building in Seattle.
Each step brought forth a new odor so powerful that I alternated between wanting to breathe through my mouth so I wouldn’t have to smell it then wanting to breathe through my nose so I would not have to taste the odors.
Curry was one of the stair steps. Urine was another.
