i can, those are recipes that use curry. she said she;d eat curry, that's what I found weird, cuz you cannot eat only curry, u need a meal that has curry in it, like chicken curry

there is curry powder which is the spice... and curry which is a dish...

Curry is the English description of any of a general variety of spicy dishes, best-known in Pakistani, Indian, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, Nepali, Indonesian, Malaysian, Thai, and other South Asian and Southeast Asian cuisines

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curry

Curry is one of those words like salsa; it means different things to different people. At its most basic, curry refers to a spicy dish of vegetables or meat served with rice. Curry is derived from the Tamil word kari, which means sauce.

In some types of Indian cuisine, curry denotes a dish that is sort of like a soup made with yogurt, clarified butter, spices and chick pea flour. Other regions from England to Thailand use curry as a generic word for meat or vegetables cooked with a spicy sauce.

Different types of curry use different main ingredients, depending on the region of Asia or India you are in. Curry from the Punjab region, for instance, involves wheat instead of rice, and is heavy on the butter and cream. Malayali curry usually has coconut and coconut milk, as well as bay leaves. Tamil curry, however, is probably what most western people think of when they think of curry. Tamil curry refers to shallow-fried meat or vegetables cooked along with dry spices.

It’s the spices that most people think of as making curry, well, curry. That’s because in many parts of the world you can buy a prepared blend of spices known as curry powder that is used to make a dish of curry. To make things more confusing, curry powder may contain curry leaves, which come from the curry tree (or curry leaf tree), which is native to India.

Hmmm...I am at home now. There is a big storm outside, that's why I didn't go to the grocery store.

Food options are - Pizza or Indian Curry via delivery or a Weight Watchers lasagna that I still have in the fridge.

Feel free to discuss

P.S.: Lori, get out of here!

ah ok, never heard of curry being a dish. Interesting, i'll start calling my salads basil from now on.

[Ms. Squirrel 11]

Yeah, curry as in the dish - and today Indian and not Thai (because my Thai place doesn't deliver!)

Chicken Vindaloo...yum...

[Nessa 23]

i guess because maybe in brazil we call curry as a spice only. It's always nice learn something new.

curry

From the southern Indian word kari , meaning "sauce," comes this catch-all term that is used to refer to any number of hot, spicy, gravy-based dishes of East Indian origin. CURRY POWDER is an integral ingredient in all curries.

so the word curry means sauce.. I didn't know that... interesting..

[chri'stina 190]

curry is a spice, how can one eat curry? can you eat cumin by itself? or black pepper?

ah ok, never heard of curry being a dish. Interesting, i'll start calling my salads basil from now on.

Yeah people do say curry when referring to Indian dishes instead of the spice. Curry itself is a combo of different spices, and you can make all different kinds. My husband doesn't really say curry. He says specific dish and spice names when talking about Indian food. I don't know if it's because in India that's how it is and in Europe and the Western world people just say curry and lump it all together under that. Curry is an imperialistic word!! Just kidddding. I am sure Indians use it too.

[Ms. Squirrel 11]

Either way, I just ordered Chicken Vindaloo. They didn't have bacon. Shame.

[pedroh 21]

curry in my dictionary means delicious... that's it

Curry or Caril

O caril ou curry é uma mistura de especiarias muito utilizada na culinária de países como Índia, Tailândia e alguns outros países asiáticos.

Translation:

The curry is a blend of spices widely used in cooking from countries like India, Thailand and some other Asian countries.

So it isn't considered a meal, like it is here and other places
