You can have your word "Curry". The fact remains that the spicey
dishes of India predated the British Empire regardless of what they
were called originally. In fact, the word "Curry" is almost
meaningless
in terms of describing anything other then a mish-mash of
ingredients.
Its about as descriptive as the word "automobile" which doesn't even
narrow down a color.
