Curry is the English description of any of a general variety of spicy dishes, best-known in Indian, Pakistani, Afghani, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, Nepali, Indonesian, Malaysian, Thai, and other South Asian and Southeast Asian cuisines, though curry has been adopted into all of the mainstream cuisines of the Asia-Pacific region. Along with tea, curry is one of the few dishes or drinks that is truly " Pan-Asian", but specifically, its roots come from India. The concept of curry was later brought to the West by British colonialists in India from the 18th century. The term curry may derive from the Tamil word kari (??? - in Tamil means sauce). It is understood that the British mistook the term, as the Tamil people call Kari Columbu which means meat gravy as being curry, derived from the usage of "Kari" in the Tamil language and other South Indian Dravidian languages, to connote some of the stew/gravy-like dishes eaten with rice[1]. The Tamil word "Curryup", meaning crisp or quickly fried is a strong possibility of the origin of the word "Curry". Other Asian sauces such as "Ketchup" (the etymological origin of the word is likely Asian despite the western conventions of this sauce) use the "Up" or "ap" at the end of the word, denoting a sauce. In addition, curry leaves - Murraya koenigii; syn. Bergera koenigii, Chalcas koenigii, known as 'Karuvapillai' (literal translation Karu - black; ve(a)pillai - neem leaf, which means that it is a black neem leaf, tasting slightly bitter) in the Tamil, karibevu in the Kannada, and kariveppila in Malyalam literally means black/dark leaf, and is used in various kinds of dishes common in South India. Another theory is that the root word for curry is "Kadhi", which derives from the term "Kadhna" meaning "to simmer" or "Karahi" denoting the cooking vessel used in Indian kitchens.

In the world we live in, we have an untold number of ways to stain our teeth. Curry and berries, coffee, red wine, and black tea will do the trick. So will tobacco products.
