If you go to a really good Indian restaurant in the US and order a
curry, there are often anywhere from 7 to 12 "condiments" in small
bowls of items to be added to your plate of curry. Hence, the term
"12 boy curry". Long ago in India each condiment was offered to each
diner by a separate serving boy.
