Etymology

In the West, the word "curry" is a broad reference to various Indian dishes prepared with different combinations of spices in the Indian subcontinent. The sauce-like component characterized by "curry" has been derived from the Tamil word kaṟi meaning literally 'sauce' or 'relish for rice', and finds synonyms with other regional references to local dishes evolving over thousands of years in the Indian subcontinent, such as jhol, shorba and kalia.
