2.There are around 12,000 curry houses in Britain
3.The word came from the Tamil ‘kari’, which meant a spiced sauce
4.But gradually the term was adapted and used as a generic term for any stew-like food from the Indian subcontinent - rather ignoring such subtleties as, regional differences and completely different flavours, textures, cooking methods and ingredients
5.The first definite mention of ‘curry’ in English is in 1598
