Your Asian boss community demographic must be largely Indian, because this video seems to stir completely fabricated outrage.
Ask them what Americans eat and they will says burgers and pizza everyday. It goes both ways ...
Even Indians dont know all the names of Indian dishes. As a North East Indian, I know the rest of India wouldn't know the name of dishes from my state. Come to think of it, I also don't know the names of all dishes of other neighbouring North Eastern states because we're not a homogenous region.
True , so much diversity in India 🤗🤗
What’s why I’m so confused by this video. “Curry” is just an umbrella term. No one said there’s only one type of curry. I think everyone who’s ever had Indian food knows there’re many types of Indian food, but this video seems to make the claim that foreigners only think there’s one type of curry which simply isn’t true
But we don't call your food curry or other names.
if we don't know then don't know that's it.
we ask for the name of the dish we eat.
that's respect for food.
@@vasudevakrishna473 I assume with "we" you don't mean "people from the US".
@@bjorns.9887 no bro not people from us.
I am speaking to my fellow Indian.
As she is speaking to Indians.
We means people from India
lol i guess for indians, internationals saying they love curry is like Asians saying their favourite western dish is ketchup and mustard
so true
in that sense, sauce probably. it just helps to understand the structure of Indian meals
curry is the umberalla term for all gravy/sauce/liquid dishes in Indian cuisine, and since most commonly India has rice or flatbread for carbs, 'curry' is the compliment like pasta has sauce. pasta sauce could be white/red/green(pesto) afaik.
so all of these dishes below can be called curries
daal(lentil soup), which is had most commonly in my North Indian family either for lunch or dinner. since there are no vegetables in daal, we have a fried vegetable dish with it. variety comes from the different types of lentils(arhar, toor, moong, chana etc) and vegetables(ladyfinger/brinjal/potato/other local vegetables)
sambhar(lentil stew)-this has vegetables and more spices in it, compared to daal, which is more simple. sambhar is a South Indian dish, had with Idli and Dosas as carbs
I am not too familiar with North East Indian dishes, but I think they have stews and gravy based dishes too.
Butter chicken&paneer have a tomato and onion based 'curry'/sauce
palak paneer is spinach based
kadhi is yoghurt based
nimona is pea based
there is another curry with peanuts, similar in texture to nimona
and all dishes like chhole bhature/pav bhaji/vindaloo korma tikka masala rogan josh nihari manchurian have their own sauce/curry/liquid element.
so if you say I like curry, it becomes like saying I like bread, or noodles. it would be much more helpful and convey information to say if you like white bread slices/brioche/naan/criossant, or hakka/ramen/sphagetti/chow mein
the closest word to curry in North India would be 'Rassa'/ 'shorba' /'masala'/'sabzi'/'bhaji'. As spoken in my family
but these are not exact translations and are more directed to the components in the curry, i.e spices/vegetables.
Rassa sort of means juice
shorba is used maily for the gravy in meat dishes.
masala means spices
sabzi and bhaji means vegetables. however like I said vegetables i.e sabzi can be prepared dry(fried) too.
EXACTLY
That's the point!Curry doesn't stand alone😊
Foreigners in this context = East Asians (Koreans, Japanese etc)..... Karey, Karey !
China is East Asia. The largest East Asian country.
@@silveriver9 sorry we are talking about the free world now.
The older guy with the moustache is very wise.
agreed
He's trying to curry favor with his clients.
woooooooooow@@warrpedd
Only one making sense man
The older guy doesn't know that the word curry comes from 'kari' - a Tamil word which means mixed spice gravy. south indian foods are thin watery spiced gravies - north indian is thick, creamy, ghee heavy.
Whoever had the idea to do this video, it was perfect. I had no idea of all of this. For me it's how it is advertised to me since I was a kid. I just had no idea. Great video.
I’ve recently been learning more about traditional Indian cuisine for the first time after being diagnosed with celiacs disease. I’ve discovered many phenomenal Indian dishes that do not contain gluten, and therefore are safe for me to eat.
This was so helpful in my quest to learn more about Indian food and culture. Thank you so much for providing this context! Best wishes ❤
Indians have some of the best dishes. They always make sure they take pride in whatever they bring to the table.
Try Parsi and Jain food that's a whole new category
Have you seen India street food? It’s the most disgusting thing I’ve seen in my life, no gloves, feet in the food, Indian food in the west is one thing but in India they put boogers and toenails in it.
It's so hard to find good Indian food outside big cities in the USA. I keep hoping my Indian friends will invite me for dinner.
@@AnnDroid877 just ask them
I wonder if they took pride in the tomato that was filled with maggots that was brought to my table...
Curry originated from tamil word "kari" We tamils usually say kaikari/காய்கறி which means vegetables used for curry. Many indians don't know about tamil language. British added these tamil words in English when they ruled madras, a tamil land. There are some tamil words in English like curry(kari) , catamaran(kattumaram), cheroot(churuttu) etc.
Keep your Language chauvinism for another content.
Here the content is on the usage of Word Curry by Foreigners as Umbrella term "Dish".
It is time to spread Awareness on our dishes or else everyone will call sambar as curry.
@@vasudevakrishna473I don't sense any chauvinism in his comment. It just feels like a random fun fact.
@@vasudevakrishna473How is that even chauvinistic lol. My guy shared that only because everyone in the video said curry is an 'English word'
@vasudevakrishna473 Mr delusional tamil hater, you must be a telugu for sure. In Oxford etymology itself it is stated that curry comes from tamil word kari. Keep your telugu chauvinistic attitude with you.
@bullymaguire3867 he is telugu golti. Goltis get frustrated whenever they see a word "tamil". Their main aim is spread hatredness against tamils.
omg everyone in the video is so heated about curry 😂 but it does make sense to me now. It's like saying there's only one bread type or one rice type when there are TONS of different types for each.
but nobody is saying there is just one kind of curry. we all know there are different types of curry. we just generalize "indian gravy" as curry. Just like the woman bringing up "sushi". sushi is a generalized term for "raw fish". Same logic. I guarantee the indians dont know what each raw fish is called in japanese right? they just call it tuna sushi or salmon sushi or whatever sushi.....
I don't think that is quite right. People think "curry" is a more specific type of dish. But it is tough to blame people for what they don't know, when their experience likely comes from restaurants, and that word is written on the menu. It is just ignorance, which we all are about most things. There are literally thousands and thousands of dishes across thousands of cuisines. And we are all ignorant of most of it, so we simplify based upon our experiences.
@@ccbowerscuisine is part of culture and culture evolve. Deal with it
Not only indian gravy but everything that that looks like it has a saucy texture with a word that doesn't exist in any of the official languages or any dialects of the country. Wtf😂😂
I think that kind of hits it, I would liken it to a stereotype of assuming an East Asian friend just eats noodles for every meal. Personally, I don't get annoyed about the curry stereotype because it comes from a lack of knowledge rather than any malice 99% of the time.
I think it only gets weird if they try to derive other weird comments based on the stereotype like saying Indians always smell like curry (never understood it, but I'm also Indian so maybe I'm desensitized to the curry musk 😆)
MY BLOOD IS BOILING WHEN THEY SAY CURRY WORD
They also say we stink like curry and all those... Jiraya sensei was right: There's just so much hatred in this world. 😅
Why indians ashamed of Their Food and culture
Same😂
what I hate most about South Korean youtube channels, especially mukbang ones is that they link every indian dish with the word 'curry'. even if it is a sweet dish, they say 'Oh it smells/ tastes like curry' it is similar to that if we say every korean dish tastes/smells like kimchi or ramen.
that’s what we call stereotype. same thing goes for every country.
Why do you "hate" it? They don't mean it in a negative sense. Over there, a lot of Indian food is just called curry. It's not even a stereotype.
@@Himanshu_Doi first, curry is derogatory term used for us indians. most of koreans used it for us as well. similarly, if i used this derogatory term 'kimchi' for everything then tell me it is not subject of hate. second you are making videos on us and yet you are not aware of anything then what is the point.my point is they are not ignorant it is just they don't bother to know us. they are using us for views. that's why i stop watching them.
@@Himanshu_Doisomeone's never been to india 💀💀💀
What are you talking about? Koreans love curry
By the way what is curry tho 😂💀 ???
And for most of the foreigners India is Delhi-Jaipur-Agra sometimes Udaipur that's it that's all think and know about India. It's hilarious 😂😆.
exactly
ya they go to old delhi or varanasi for yt views and go back to their country after getting enough yt views
Curry in tamil means sabzi...we say beans curry,potato curry etc
@@jayanthirajagopalan3962we don't say so ☺️😂
Mostly delhi and that's it& then they review India as a poor country,pollution,traffic I mean u only visited just one state How can u review on whole India just by visiting one state
India: Curry is not Indian!!! 😡🤬
Italians: Get in line, bro.
Haha yess 😂😂😂
EDIT: I didn't know why I was laughing when I posted this and now after re-reading it i'm confused after others comments
I didn't understand?
It’s not Indian?
Curry is indian
Wait, now that I read it again, wdym? 🤔
Curry word is irritating to me some korean youTuber called it khari khari and they called samosa smell like curry or Chowmein smells like curry even i am watching a video they think curry is a perfume all indians smell like curry 😂😂😂 i was like what the f##k 😂😂 ahhh how dare you said that i mean i know they don't know anything but still when they are making a video go research properly that's what make me mad 😢 i mean i know they want to reach out indian population they want to try out but still that's irritating as hell 😛 sorry i am frustrated well that's how i feel when i hear curry that's my honest opinion ... Again that's my opinion so many people don't think same as me that's fine you know i respect everyone 🙏🏼
exactly this is how i feel !!! you literally wrote what i always thought
@@itsgonnabeok56 yeah 👍
yeah my blood is boling when they say curry😂
We also need to say that koreans smells like kimchi😂
Curry is a leaf. If the sauce lacks curry, it isn't "a" curry (sauce).
Kari patta is different it's not pronounced same as curry
Curry is Just a term britishers used when they didn't understand the dish
@@iliketurtles9719There's not just one word. There's not just one dish. Curry means a plant, often, the leaf of that plant. Dishes without curry aren't curries.
@@weksauceu r right bur, foreigners dont know it they think its the cuisine
As a S.Korean, I thought Curry is yellow spicy powder for curry rice and I realized I was wrong. Thanks for good information 👍👍👍
Please tell more people about it cuz South Koreans tend to be most vocal saying curry curry curry whenever they hear about India.
@@kuku0113밥위에 카레소스로 있는 메뉴가 오래동안 음식처럼 소개되어서 하나의 고유명사처럼사용되고 있었다. 아마 일본에서 일본식 카레를 만든걸 한국에서도 받아들여서 그렇게 된듯
@@leverkusen8373and Japan adopted it from India
I like the fact that the Indians are not so 'imposing' like the Italians when it comes to cuisine names and it's pronunciations. Most of them said in this video "It's not possible for them to learn all these names so it's cool". That's generosity, Rare to find. People should learn.
Yes, because we are practical and understanding
'Curry' isn't foreign, it has its roots in the tamil word kaṟi (கறி) which signifies a liquid mixture of vegetables, spices and curry leaves. Interestingly, the term 'Curry leaves' also has a related etymology, derived from the tamil word kariveppilai (கறிவேப்பிலை) which in itself again has its roots to the word kaṟi
no actually the word karuvepillai is totally different, allow me to explain. if you're a tamil person you'll know that karu or karuppu means black. So curry leaves are called karu-vepilai, or black neem leaves. it has nothing to do with curry, or Kari, which means vegetables
@@yashaswinikrishnan1878 it's not karuvepillai it's karivepillai
@yashaswinikrishnan1878 actually it is "kariveppilai" only not karuveppilai as curry leaves are as black as neem and neem is associated with bitter taste but curry leaves doesn't taste like that that is why we call "nilavembu" for a plant associated with bitterness. also we use "kootukari" and jackfruit specifically used for cooking is called "karipala", kari actually means "used for cooking".
The Pronunciation is different if you read it in anyindian language it is different but when it comes to foreigners they eat North Indian food and consitute every thing with curry that's not wrong just lack of knowledge but we have to be open about things so that they can understand
i think you are right because in up we are also using kari chawal and kari patta types words in our daily life so i also feel that just ;like looted word british use kari word
Most Korean people have very little knowledge about India. Very few people in Korea speak English. In India, almost everyone speaks or understands English. Even an average Indian can speak or understand English to know what is happening in the world. While Koreans have no idea what is happening in the world, they are only busy with their work. They only know one thing about India, curry. What you may not know about India is that the language changes every 10-15 kilometers, the food, clothing, and weather change, the way of speaking changes in India, and much more. There are many things worth knowing about India.
Why you drag Korean here ... stop your obsession toward foreigners :)
well koreans don’t have to know about every country tho cuz no one actually cares. if to ask people what the know about korean the answers will be neither bts or kimchi and that’s it
Did a Korean woman reject your proposal? 😂
@@userrrrrxx135 of course not. I often go to Korea for business.
@@Its_Sajans yeah that's what I mean. You didn't get a Korean girl? Stupid brown indians. I feel bad for the other people
As an Indian i don't even know the meaning of the word curry
This was so informative. Everyone one of those people made good points. WoW and thanks!
Curry originated in ancient India but curry is truly a pan-Asian dish. Many Asian countries have their own versions of it, developed using their own indigenous ingredients and spices. You could really do a curry tour of Asia and try different curries from around the continent, I wonder if anybody has done that before. There are also curry dishes outside of Asia developed through the migration of Indians and other groups such as those in the UK and the Caribbean.
Saying curry 'is A pan Asian dish'- itself is wrong. It's a huge misnomer, that went around the world without correction. Curry or Kari in Indian language simply means gravy. So any preparation in liquid form will be a curry.
Unfortunately, in old times when we weren't so well connect, the world only came to know what the British misunderstood and kept repeating- just like how they misnamed native inhabitants of America as Indians and called chilli as pepper. They came across a spicy gravy being mentioned as curry and thought that was the name of the dish. Then everyone started to 'experiment' and came up with different kind of 'spiced gravies'. And thus it became a pan- Asian misnomer.
So if you are presenting any gravy with some spice as Indian cuisine or some kind of umbrella idea of Indian cuisine, then it's an insult to India. Especially when Curry as you know it is nothing more than a misunderstanding created by non- Indian.
If we start calling everything with noodles as yakisoba, then come up with our own versions by putting noodles in different gravies and call it yakisoba, and then call it a Pan- Asian dish, double down even after correction...will you take it as respect for your culture or misappropriation of it?
P.S Pan Asia doesn't just have East Asia. There is a reason why no country in Central Asia or the Indian subcontinent have 'A' dish called curry. They were better connected with and educated about India.
@@aleenaprasannan2146 Curry is an overarching term that refers to similar dishes. You know exactly what I mean. Stop trying to cut me down please. I literally said something positive and you're here making everything negative. Who said pan-Asian only means East Asia?? I was referring to Southeast Asia and other parts of South Asia too like Sri Lanka and Nepal.
@@user-jt3dw6vv4x Sri Lanka and Nepal doesn't have 'A dish' called just curry
@@aleenaprasannan2146 There are dishes in Sri Lanka called black pork curry among others. Like I said, "curry" is an overarching term to describe similar dishes. Idk why you're so upset.
@@user-jt3dw6vv4x That's the point....there are dishes, not A one particular dish called curry. That's a suffix added to mention that the dish has liquid base. It's used in the same context in South India as well from where the word kari itself originated. They use it exactly as it's supposed to be.
Instead of naming something the 'Curry'.
Which is why I said you wouldn't find The one dish called curry from India, rather use it exactly in the correct and same context as Indian use it. Which means, a lot of different preparations with liquid base will be suffixed with curry and not some one imaginary 'Indian dish' or Indian inspired dish being labeled incorrectly as curry.
Everyone is so passionate about this, I've just been roasted 💀
You should have asked this question in Chennai and you would have gotten completely different responses. These guys are right in that "curry" on its own is a completely meaningless term and just means "cooked vegetables", and therefore if you say "I like curry", it just means "I like cooked food", as opposed to raw vegetables. We would even call an eggplant dish in a Chinese restaurant as "Chinese eggplant curry" or food in a Thai restaurant as "Thai curry", and so on.
However, where a lot of these interviewees are completely wrong (and most importantly the tour guide because he's been misinforming a lot of guests, it seems) is that "curry" is very much an Indian term - it comes from the Tamil word கறி, which refers to gravy- or dry-based cooked side dishes. One lady in the video says she has never used the word "curry" before in her life, but we Tamil people use the word every single day - "என்ன கறி வேண்டும்?" "What curry (cooked side dish) do you want (with rice)?" Thus, it's not only important for foreigners to learn about India and its diversity, but it's even more important for Indians to learn about other parts of India and not think that their own local food/experiences represent all of India.
India is much more than North India and Hindi, and other Indian languages such as Tamil have had a very large influence on the cultural outreach of India historically, including in this word 'curry'. Most likely, the British picked up this word from the Madras Presidency and applied it to all the cooked food they saw everywhere in India (and in other parts of Asia, too), because as we know, the British are not exactly known for their cooking. 😆Many North Indians may also not be familiar with the term 'curry' because when they think about South Indian food and go to South Indian restaurants, they primarily think about dosai, vadai, and sambar, but in terms of the food we South Indians eat every day, which one usually cannot find in restaurants, it's very much சாதம் கறி - different rice dishes with different curries. That forms the essence of our culture and cuisine, and dosai is just the crispy cherry on top! I invite our North Indian friends to South India to try real everyday South Indian food beyond dosai and sambar, so that they can also learn what "curry" means.
In North India we have dish called curry/kadi pakoda .Its made from besan. Foreigners don't know Indian language or words. So they use English curry word.
The main problem is foreigner used English word curry for every Indian dishes.English Curry word is referred for food like someone eat indian food it's food.
Some foreigner like American and British have knowledge about food and they say dishes name like chicken tikka, gulab jamun dosa etc.but country like korea etc any Indian dishes they will call it curry.
One person said to Indian, oh you Indian I like curry when he ask about food what it looks like it turned out to be Thai curry/food.
Keep your Language chauvinism for another content.
Here the content is on the usage of Word Curry by Foreigners as Umbrella term "Dish".

And by the way in telugu also there is a word Kura which simply means Dish.
@vasudevakrishna473 keep your telugu chauvinistic attitude with you. You seem to claim other fathers. In Oxford etymology it is clearly mentioned curry comes from tamil word kari/கறி. So stop inserting your telogu everywhere shamelessly claiming others things.
The foreigners calls any gravy thing as curry thats wrong.. dal is not CURRY...think before you type.
Ok then do something, either ask that tour guide to bring the tourists to South India to educate them more or stop hating on North Indians yourself. Also most of India knows Tamils are known for being hyper so not exactly a welcome for them.
In Japan they have a dish they called Kare from the word curry. It’s generally believed that it comes from India. So yeah, they basically say Curry.
same in taiwan. its a generalized term for "gravy".
Because it contains curry powder
It's a from south India vegitables in food is called Kari I think
Last line - exactly what we Indians are and what we love about ourselves. We live in community but we respect individualty most in the world. Thats the reason we are Unity in Diversity
Generally in my country, "curry" or kari as a distinct form of gravy that is brownish orange that is originated from the ethnic Indians that migrated here.
There other type of Indian gravy too such as kurma, masala etc but kari is a distinct family of dishes on its own.
Originated from ethnic indians and yall called all those dishes curry 😂 this is exactly what this video is about. Please know it's very annoying to us Indians .
@@kuku0113 Unfortunately, here we do not call every single Indian gravy as curry. Curry is a distinct dish on its own. Much like how the Japanese does it. But they originated from the Indians that migrated here. The same dish probably does not even exist in India.
We don't call all dishes as neither curry nor gravy.. And what about ethnic migrated indians? Don't bring shitty politics here.
@@sukuna0815 Politics? Did I miss something?
Thanks for the content. I was ignorant before and I actually sat through the entire clip.
I think you should tackle another common stereotype that I hear many people having here in the West out of ignorance: I've asked that question to many "What is an official language of India" and I've heard many say..."Indian".
If only they knew...If only they knew...
Brits and Americans go woooo 😂😂😂😂😂
I feel like so many people just overlook South India. The word curry is used everywhere where i live. I live near the coast and our main dish everyday consists of Meen Curry with Chorru.
Which is basicallly Rice with Fish Curry. And depending on which house you go to you get a different Meen curry with complete different flavors.
Of course we have specific names for all other side dishes, like kootan, thoran, kalan, pachadi.... etc. But the term curry is also used for specific dishes that have too much variety (depending on area) to be confined to a single name.
Sambar has a very specific recipe, curry however varies in taste and flavour depending on whose house you go to and what ingredients are available... for example in my place we use coconut in our meen curry but folks from the inner parts don't use coconut, they use chilli as the base.
And yes we grow Curry leaves in our backyard. Thats where the name curry comes from doesn't it... CURRIVEPPALA which means curry leaves.
South Indian food is not popular with foreigners, but hey atleast North indians eat your foods don't worry 😅😅
@@twotec-9s British main rule is Madras. They started heavily from here. That's why English people took the word curry from Tamil to combine all dish in India
But south Indian food is not popular their what they eat is all north Indian food and call it curry Annoying @@santhoshv3028
@@twotec-9s Bro south Indian foods like dosa is now popular in foreign countries
I think, though they didn't mention South Indian cuisine particularly, but the idea is there. Curry is just used to denote that it is gravy dish r8? Like meen curry, chicken curry, mutton curry. Idk much but you must have dishes which are not particularly called curry? But would be grouped under it by a foreigner just bcz of its consistency? Idk. Sambar is one of them. That was the idea of the whole video.
As a German I thought "Curry" was a spice. Here in Germany we have a yellow spice that is sold as "Curry". We put it on sausage or in ketchup. "Curry sausage" and "Curry Ketchup".
Currywurst yeah? I know of it and I have tasted it, it's good. 😋👍
Germans and the Japanese see it as a spice. But the English term is an umbrella term for a dishes that is saucy and is eatern with bread or rice.
You're not entirely wrong. I believe curry is an anglicised form of "kadi". We use kadi patta (curry leaves) in a LOT of our dishes. So, what you use there might be a powdered form of the same. We do have a dish referred to as just Kadhi in Maharashtra, but it uses the leaves, curds and other stuff. Again, there is a huge variety in everything here haha
just like we all see german sausage is generally sausage in germany
Bro don't use it
If you want to make your food tasty use actual spices that will elevate your game
And the curry powder which PPL are selling have lots of preservatives and no taste
I think that yellow colour is due to turmeric
I think Indians forget… Indian food is the most popular food in the UK..
Most "Indian food" restaurant in the UK are owned & run by Bangladeshis. There are few authentic Indian food restaurants in the UK, most of the restaurant have hybird Anglo-South Asian cuisine.
Such as Chicken Tikka Masla which part of Anglo-South Asian cuisine, it was invented in the 🇬🇧.
It's not forget, we don't know/are not taught about it. And besides, we have better things to do than talk about our oppressor.
It's british version of indian food
Indian food is different though
@pikachuthunderbolt3919 not completely, there's a balance of both
@@twotec-9s And do the Brits think of their slaves every time they Try out the Chicken Tikka Masala on a Tuesday evening ? Dont think so. Its one thing to know and learn from history and another to make a baseless statement that doesn't even concern modern people. I mean you'd probably not call modern germans and Japanese, Nazis and Imperialists would you ?
Japanese-style Curry was popularized by retired Imperial Japanese Navy cooks who opened "Western-style" restaurants (a.k.a YOSHOKU-Ya 洋食屋) in their home towns after they retired. During late 19th and early 20th centuries, Curry was considered as part of "Western" cuisine, as the Japanese Navy learnt curry spices/recipes from its many interactions with the British/Royal Navy.
Japanese Navy still serves Curry every Friday to not lose track of the day/calendar (which is not rare on long voyages). There is even a "Navy Curry Olympics" held each year as every ship and naval station has their own custom recipes that gets passed down by the cooks. In addition, immigrants from Thailand have opened many Thai restaurants that serve Thai-style Curry, and immigrants from mostly Nepal have opened restaurants serving Nepali/Indian-style Curry. They are very popular and successful in Japan as well.
I'm actually well aware of the stereotype being form the Caribbean, a place with a large Indian/Bengali diaspora.
Interesting, I thought curry was connected to the use of curry leaves. My wife is from Japan and I've yet to meet a Japanese person who doesn't enjoy カレーライス。
Actually ate that for lunch today, on nishiki rice.
Thank you for sharing this AB!
@jeffjacob1992 BTW you are correct, curry comes from tamil word "kari/கறி" You can refer to etymology of curry. The word Curry leaves are also originated from tamil word called "kari veppilai". When British ruled tamil regions they added these words in English. There are many words in English from tamil because of British rule in tamil regions like catamaran(kattumaram), cheroot(churuttu), pandal(pandal), pariah(paraiar), moringa(murunga), ginger(injiver) etc.
@@josejoseph8725a small correction, it's karuvepillai and not karivepillai. If you know tamil you'll know karu means black. Since curry leaves are cousins of neem leaves, it makes sense for our ancestors to name it karuvepillai or black neem
This is such a good topic! I learned the word growing up in California through grocery stores. "Curry powder," and sauce packets, etc. I always thought this word meant that the sauce had curry leaves in it. I learned differently when I moved to Silicon Valley and ate and cooked more Indian regional foods.
Wow I wasn't aware of this stereotype..
Very educational video thank you! 😊
1:57 thanks for mentioning east indians.
🤘🏿🤘🏿
If you go to TAMIL NADU and ask the waiter in a restaurant, that you need ''CURRY''- he will bring a non-veg dish
In TAMIL ''CURRY'' means ''MEAT''
For INDIANs the word ''CURRY'' HAS NO MEANING
It's like calling calling JAJANGMYEON, BULDALK(fire noodles), JAPCHAE, NAENGMYEON, KALGUKSU,...... as ''RAMEN/RAMYEON''
It really hurts from the heart when people generalize a dish which has 'n' number of varities in it
In North India - people generally prefer eating thick consistency gravies
In South India - people eat rice with spicy soups such as Sambar, rasam,...
The taste of these foods are entirely different
Most of the foreigners don't understand that- main cause is caused because of media( The WEST and the EAST), they have very little to no knowledge about INDIA and our diversity
People call it curry to describe the type of food, not a specific dish. Just like when we say we want pasta or Italian when want food from Italy.
Which is also the exact same problem.
For long Indians have seen racism. So naturally they are sensitive. Italy even if it's stereotypes it's mostly done for good natured humor, because it's a white and developed country
If there were 3000 thousand types of gravy of different ingredients, different textures and different consistency, different tastes and names.. will they be curry?? It's like calling all of Italian cuisine pasta.. be it pasta or pizza or capachino or risotto or cheese or focaccia or lasagna or something else.
That is completely and utterly wrong. We have never heard of the word curry in Mughlai cuisine. You are basically calling stews and gravies curry. The word itself doesn’t exist. We don’t have any curry leaves or curry powder in our cuisine either. Your analogy of Italian cuisine is wrong. Might as well call Italian gravies curry too.
@@pratikrana7684 No one calls the entire Italian cuisine Pasta. Its an umbrella term for different types of Pasta. Stew is an umbrella term for different stews. Bread is an umbrella term for Breads. Kimchi is an umbrella term for the different kimchis, Sushi is an umbrella term for different sushis. People will call something a curry if it fits their general perception. But a Tandoori Chicken is never called "Curry". Naan or Roti is not Curry. No one is going to learn a thousand different words for Dishes from all over the world just because someones mad. 😂
Funny how this passed as an insightful topic of discussion
I think many westerners still use original name of the dish but east asians always do "karey karey"...and it's just like most of the Indian restaurants present the dish names like that, so they are used to use those terms we can't blame them for that, also we use liquid based dishes as "jhol" in my state like "fish curry"-" Macher jhol", "mutton curry"-"mangsher jhol" etc
English curry word means food. Thats it. It has nothing to do with any country.
Like if Korean people say they like indian curry, as indian i understand it they like indian food.
American and British people have knowledge about Indian foods and their name like chicken tikka, gulab jamun,naan etc.
In North India there's specific dish called curry/kadi pakoda,it is made from besan.
Its true that you can't remember foreign countries food name but if you go to restaurant like indian/Chinese/Italian restaurant there you will check the menu and order the dish by its name.
not just curry or i want Italian because you are already there.😅
Some people in comments section mentioned that only curry word is mentioned in menu in their country which should not be happened.
Those people who are running Indian restaurant in foreign countries should clearly mentioned every dishes by its rightful name.
Its responsiblity of every indians studying /working or running these restaurant in foreign countries to maintain right ,correct & respected image of India in foreign countries.
Must be those Bangladeshis.
Here I think curry as a spice mixture. Curry sauce would be a localised sauce using that spice. If you want to make Indian food then the recipe books tend to have specific names for those dishes. Also I was under the impression that the curry dish in the UK was more of a British dish (made by the British Indian)? Indian dishes have Indian names usually, right? 😂
That British Indian, we don't claim him as one of our own.
Omg thank you for making this video! Finally someone addressed this - hope more western people watch this!
*If I as an Indian can understand the difference between a hotdog and cheeseburger or Donut and Bagel then Westerners can also avoid using an extremely generic term to reduce our whole diverse cuisine into "curry". Come out of British mindset fr.*
That's their ego issue. They like dissing on others.
i dissagree i dont think english are that backminded they just dont know about the culture
@@obito4168 Who knows? 🙄

Very similar to Mexican food... depends on where you are as to what you will get... Tex Mex, New Mexican, Cal Mex, Mexico (pick a region), or maybe get authentic Aztec cuisine... which technically is Mexican. People also lump in anything south of Mexico as Mexican food... El Salvadorian just to name one.... the list goes on.
Where can I find information on the man with the moustache? I would love to go to India and have him as my guide
Just hope that man finds your comment
Whaaaat! I didn't know that. I just love having my mind blown. 🤯 Thank you.❤
I didn’t realize curry was an English Word. My favorite is Indian cuisine dish is Chicken Tikka Masala with a vegetable Samosa. When I think of curry, I generally think of Jamaican curry chicken which probably uses some spices that have Indian roots.
You can use chicken curry or curry chicken too in any order. Just specify which type of curry because there are types.
Never had chicken Tikka masala even as an indian 😂
Too heavy for my stomach specially those punjabi foods.
U can go for yummy fish or Tikka Maas curry
I think you are probably referring to either Beef or Goat
The curry word here is kadhi in north and in south kari ' ig they got their own by regional differences
the guy with the blurred face has a good take
Curry = sambhar, rasam, dal etc everything is called curry outside but there are 1000s of dishes like that.
4:50 ha ha ha .Not just Americans we troll British too 😂😂😂
Japanese curry (カレー) and Korean curry (카레) is the same style dish. But what is colloquially called 'Indian curry' is different. From what I understand, the big difference is the types of spices and other ingredients used and how it is prepared.
They arw calling anything with gravy is curry look not all gravy is made from species so saying korean famous dish is noodle , japan is all about raw fish how they will feel
@@kpopvoodooBuuut, I mean those are the famous foods of those countries... 🙄
What's wrong? 😐
no actually during world war, the Indian garam masala was transported from india to Japan (japan was also a british colony) for our indian soldiers in Japan. There the japanese retained the masale, but totally changed the proportion of spices.
@@yashaswinikrishnan1878 Japan, Thailand, and rest of China (Except Hong Kong & Macau) was never colonized mate what are you talking about..
Taiwan was colonized also but anyway
Don't lie or show proof that this is real
At the end of the 18th century, the British officially formalized spice blends known as curry powders. Food made with this curry powder are referred as curry. I would associate curry with Thailand, Japan, Uk more because panang curry, green curry, japanese curry and the spice mixture that is sold as curry there are different spice mixtures sold as tandoori, tikka masala and butter chicken.
But we have tandoori and chicken mix you know
Masala is spice in india bro
British 'officially formalized'- you mean officially culturally misappropriated and misnamed it.
Ask them what Americans eat and they will says burgers and pizza everyday. It goes both ways ...
That's true though😂😂. There is no specific American cuisine lol. If you have then give me example😅😅
But you guys do eat burgers and pizzas. Now tacos too.
I use curry as a catch all for any sauce based Indian dish. Or "Indian food" for everything. But i always use the actual dish names when talking about a specific one. Even Indians here in UK use the term curry as a generalisation.
Those two olderly males have my respect mahn like seriously!!!!!!! They know so much wrt India.. aaahh!!!! Mazedaar
Made interesting viewing 😊
Thx.
It's pretty sad that, none of them used the term "Bharat" and just went along with India.
This video reminds me of a standup comedy joke I've been meaning to write. Saying you like curry is like somebody saying they like meat. So broad.
Damn, Curry as a word is BUSSIN
Curry and the guy on Simpson Thank you come aging I love that guy😂❤
Thankyou Thankyou , it was about time
I think it’s like pasta? A cacio a pepe is like polar opposite of bolognese with rigatoni, or a fresh egg pasta with a nice light marinara
Curry is just a general term for Indian food in a spiced gravy. Like calling varieties of raw fish rolls as sushi or pasta for spaghetti.
CURRY..
things comes to my mind hearing this word:-
curry leaves
curry ≠ gravy
this is one dish in our bihar called "KADHI" with Chawal which gravy is made up using gramflour and curd
In odisha, we say tarkari, which is an umbrella term for all kinds of dishes with gravy, for instance, maach tarkari, mutton tarkari, matar aloo tarkari. Very similar to the English word curry.
We call tarkari as sabji.. But we don't call samosa, dosha, poha, vada pap as tarkari. They use Curry word for every single indian dish with even little bit of masala. That's the difference. By doing that They ki*l the identity of those dishes from different regions snd their food culture.
We call sabzi like aaloo ki sabzi baingan ki sabzi but these foreigners use curry for every Indian dish time to introduce them our actual dahi kadhi so that their mouth will shut 😂😂😂😂
I am curious, so when you order curry in a restaurant in a foreign country, what does the waiter bring you? Does get you Aalu Matar or Palak Paneer or Malai Kofta or Rajma??
For me curry means sauce means when we put water to any cook vegetables or lentils to thicken it or cook fully make saucy this sauce is curry.
one of my friends from grad school had an argument over this exact topic lol like obviously we know the dishes have specific names, but to simplify, we just say curry as a general term for most indian food that comes with a "gravy" or "sauce". obviously in a restaurant we don't just order 1 type of curry - there's different types with actual names but most people aren't going to study their names lol. and to go even deeper some indian restaurants won't even list the actual indian names of dishes and will just say like lentil curry, spinach curry, paneer curry etc.
"You smell like curry" explain this then to me, Do I smell like Paneer Tikka/ Dal Makhni/ Kadhai Paneer/ Chicken tikka/ Chole Bhatoore? like what, what exactly does it mean xD They are all different dishes yet implying its all curry and saying stuff like Indian houses/Indians smell like curry, I mean just try to look it from an Indian perspective, Won't you get mad at it? Especially when the term was created by your Colonizers for their own convenience. If I as an Indian can understand the difference between a hotdog and cheeseburger or Donut and bagel then can't you avoid using an extremely generic term to reduce a whole diverse cuisine into it. Also considering how truly diverse Indian food is, this is totally ignorant, like fr.
Its basically equivalent to calling entire Chinese Cuisine - "Spring-rolls"
sorry we need to take an entire class on the history/terminology of indian food. Would it be less offensive to say you smell like spices? if you want to get so pedantic over what curry as a broad category is? like be real not everyone is going to learn all of the actual indian words for the food items. you're not normally going to remember all of the specific japanese words for each piece of sushi, but when you ask your friend to go get sushi you just say that and they understand that it's just the category of food it is. people normally aren't going to say hey!!! let's get chole bhatoore for lunch. over hey!!! let's get indian curry for lunch! same with getting boba/bubble tea. 99% of the time we aren't asking friends to get a super specific flavor of boba, we just ask if they want to get boba lol.
It's pretty sad that they're not aware of their own culture:
"Curry is an anglicised form of the Tamil கறி kaṟi meaning 'sauce' or 'relish for rice' that uses the leaves of the curry tree (Murraya koenigii)."
many indians believe curry was only used in the current context after the british started using the work curry. before that it was used to mean what you stated
I think u r confusing
Curry with kadi
@@RahulBisht-idk no... he's correct
This is the problem with Indian culture, namely that “Indian culture” is just an umbrella term. So many Indians don’t even have a shared language with one another, so how can any one Indian presume to think they know all about their own country? 😂
@@AndorranStairway How dare those foreigners call us all Indians when we're all so different ! LOL
Hey im from odisha India...in my State we use to call it "Tarakari" which is close to tamil word "Kari" ...and tarakari different types based on used vagitable...also fruit is also used for making tarkari (curry) like mango it may be sweet and sour in taste based on what you like ;i like sour one...also here we make "tarkari" of bamboo shoots also which is my favourite one and it is very yummy and mouth watering when you eat with rice by mixing it ...
Also forget that we used two word one "khata" and another is "tarakari"
"Khata" means mainly sour one and "tarkari" is for Normal one...there is many word use for "curry" and some may be forget the word because the influence of English word "curry"
We indians just say every cuisine by name or gravy/masala like paneer butter masala, chicken masala etc.
Thank you, we will come again, to watch this
Kari is a Tamil word which literally translates to curry in English. English borrowed this word curry from Tamil. I am a Telugu, South Indian from Andhra Pradesh. All North Indians know nothing about South India or its languages. In Telugu curry is called koora. We make many varieties of Koora. Koora is similar to Tamil kari. Koora can be dry koora or wet (gravy) koora, we often eat it with rice and chapatis or poori. We call them like vankayakoora(brinjal curry), bendakaayakoora(Okra curry), and so on. We also make varieties of koora podi(curry powder) for different curries. There is nothing wrong in the word curry. We have many other dishes like pappu(dal), pappupulusu, pulusu, charu(rasam), pulusukoora, pachipulusu, sambar, pachidi, ooragaya and many more which are not kooras(curries). We also have vepudu variety in curry, vepudu means fry in Telugu, example bangaaladhumpavepudu(Potato fry). You are running a UA-cam channel, please do some research before you make a video.
Noone says Curry in India to any dish. I think Egg curry being the only exception.
Tbh, as an Indian, I have had kadhi chawal a lot. The kadhi made of dahi (Curd) is usually yellow in colour, and the Sindhi kadhi (these two are delicious, you should have them) When I saw vids of foreigners having Indian food, which was basically what they called as 'curry', I thought about dahi kadhi chawal and Sindhi kadhi, not some mere chicken dish.
Good video! One comment thought: "sandwich" and "sushi" are not really good cognate examples, as e.g. Americans do call sandwiches "sandwiches" and Japanese do call sushi "sushi" - while in India, nobody calls their food "curry." I am trying to think of a cognate from elsewhere, but not easy...
2:10 Uber eats time. :)
This is great =D
Its like… if i say Japanese “broth”..or French “bread”
Curry is a word used like for example India has 8000 type of rice dishes all over country and they call every thing as biriyani 😂😂😂 and that's irritating 🤷🏻♀️
What hell no we called sweet pudding if rice as kheer , rice with potatoes in cooker is called tehri , rice prepared in pan is fried rice , rice with chicken is called chicken biryani , rice with mutton stock Is called pulaav 🤣🤣🤣we don't 🤙 call every dish as biryani 😂😂😂😂😂
@@ShubhamKumar-vd9xy yeah I mean it the way u explain it just I don't want to write so much coz I am confused 🤣🤣🤣 but u wrote it perfect👍💯👏
For someone in England, The term " curry " has ALWAYS confused me too!
Like, What is a curry? I do tend to think of a gravy dish with rice but.. Does a curry have onions? Does it have to have onions? Isn't changing the ingredient changing the entire dish?! So what is it?!
I think it's an umbrella term for people who pretty much eat anything, Who are happy to eat anything no matter what is put infront of them!
I can only say it's born out of England having the worst food , And most British people just eating whatever and not really caring about it!
I have always hated that lack of standards!
As someone who enjoys fine cuisine and only enjoys fine food.. It really ruins everything for me.
If one ingredient is not finely chopped, not cooked well enough or prepared, or is included at all, Then I can't eat it.
That's why I have never tried Indian food here, Because it's just too daring for me to try something under the umbrella term "curry"
And not being able to eat most foods, It's too much of a risk for me order all this food when I don't know what is in it or what it is!
lol honestly the reason why people consider curry a thing is because everything that falls under that category in that type of sauce tends to be freaking delicious. its an unconscious compliment to indian cuisine as a whole
Okay, the example of ‘sandwich’ is just confusing if you’re saying ‘curry’ isn’t a real concept. In fact, it’s generally used (in INDIAN restaurants internationally) denotes a sauced dish ( gravy is a great description) - with a lot of variations. I love green curries - also love butter chicken, tandoori baked dishes, naan, etc. I learned about them first from a lovely lady that worked with my dad - she was from Southern India.
Bro in south asia we eat so much curry that we think of it as default. If you say today I ate chicken, people assume you ate chicken curry you don't have to say it. It is so ubiquitous in the culture that we don't think to mention the word curry. But for people outside of south asia who don't eat curry everyday, ofcourse they will look at us and say we eat curry, because we do.
Time to try more Indian cuisine that isn't curry hahaha
Do try. If you don't try new foods how will you know the different tastes. (If you want to)
This is not just about food but about new things aswell, you will get new experiences. Common sense dude. 😅😅
Wow. Mind blown
North East of Indian states like Nagaland, Arunachal or Mizoram doesn’t cook curry. We eat boil food every day
Before internet many Indian signature dishes were unknown to me like naan, kulcha, chole bhature, dahi valle, bati chokha etc
Ive never heard of the term indian curry as a dish.

Curry❎
Gravy ✅✅
For people telling that there is no such thing as Curry or anything similar
We have something called Kadhi(pronounced very similar to the English alternative curry ) if you ever come to Western coastal areas like Gujarat or Maharashtra.
We literally have many varieties of them as well and all of them have the word Kadhi in their names, its a very specific item if you look at it...
Go search up Gujarati Kadhi , Sindhi Kadhi ....it is a soup like dish in western side of India
Why has any indian in this video said that aall those disshes british called curry we have specific names for them and even if fe have to give it a broder name we will say gravy based dishes also there is a specific dish that we do call curry but its entirely different from what foriegners presume
"Curry" is an English food based upon an idea imported from India.
Compare with "Just A Minute" played in India vs that was invented in England and imported to India.
Stop with idea of cultural appropriation, if things MUST be owned by one country/race etc why are you wearing Western clothing in any country but Europe?
In Bihar, there is a famous dish known as "Chawal Curry". Curry is made from besan and super tasty
You mean kadhi ryt in rajasthan we also make that
In Eastern UP also
Bhai kadhi hota hai
