Etymology
The word curry originates from ” koora “, a Telgu word which means stew or gravy of any vegetable. In Tamil, curry means meat. The word “Khari” from which “curry” is derived, comes from Southern India and refers to a sauce of any kind.
Curry powder was actually developed by Britishers during their colonial rule of India, who wished to take the taste of Indian food home, without having to utilize fresh spices. As a result “curry powder” in the Western world has a fairly standardized taste, but there are literally millions of curry flavors in India.
