Curry

Curry is a generic description used throughout Western culture to describe a variety of spiced dishes, especially from indian or other South Asian cuisine. It is analogous to "soup" or "stew" in that there is no particular ingredient that makes something "curry."
The word "curry" may be an anglicised version of the Tamil word kari (கறி), which is usually understood to mean vegetables/meat cooked with spices with or without a gravy .In most South Indian cuisines, a curry is considered a side-dish, which can be eaten along with a main dish like rice or bread. In Pakistan and North India, where dishes are classified as sukhi (dry) and tari (with liquid), the word curry is often confounded with the similar-sounding Hindi-urdu word tari (from the Persian-derived tar meaning wet) and has no implications for the presence or absence of spice, or whether the dish is Indian or not (e.g. any stew, spicy or not, would be considered a curry dish, simply because it is wet). In Urdu, an official language of Pakistan, curry is usually referred to as saalan (سالن). The equivalent word for a spiced dish in Hindi-Urdu is masaledar (i.e. with masala). This article covers curry in the Western sense of the term.
