Notably, pre-colonial Indian languages lack this term; it was introduced by Portuguese and British colonizers to describe a variety of Indian dishes. This generalization oversimplified India’s diverse culinary landscape, reducing rich regional variations to a single term. Despite its colonial roots, some Indians have embraced and redefined *“curry”* as a symbol of their multifaceted cultural identity. This evolution reflects the dynamic interplay between language, culture, and history in shaping our understanding of food. Originally reported by **Megan Macdonald and Kim Jirik** for **ABC**.
