Historical origin:
The word "curry" comes from Tamil, which means "many spices are cooked together". Indian folklore says that curry was created by Buddha Sakyamuni. Because the pungent and fragrant taste of curry can help hide the fishy smell of mutton, it is used to help Indians who don't eat pork and beef.
In Tamil, "Kali" means "sauce". Early India was ruled by the Mughal Empire Magnum established by Mongols, during which the eating habits brought from Persia (present-day Iran) influenced the Indian cooking style until now.
Curry is the crystallization of various spices. This is due to the fact that mutton with a very strong smell was the main meat in India at first, and a single spice failed to get rid of its smell, so it was cooked with a thick juice made up of a variety of dry spice powders, but the effect was surprisingly good.
