What is Curie?!
Answers: What is Curey?
Curry (from Tamil: ???) is the English description of any of a general variety of spicy dishes, best-known in Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, Nepali, Indonesian, Malaysian, Thai, Chinese and other South Asian and Southeast Asian cuisines, though curry has been adopted into all of the mainstream cuisines of the Asia-Pacific region
The curie (symbol Ci) is a unit of radioactivity, defined as
1 Ci = 3.7×1010 decays per second or becquerels.
This is roughly the activity of 1 gram of the radium isotope 226Ra, a substance studied by the pioneers of radiology, Marie and Pierre Curie (for whom the unit is named). The curie has since been replaced by an SI derived unit, the becquerel (Bq), which equates to one decay per second. Therefore:
1 Ci = 3.7×1010 Bq
and
1 Bq = 2.70×10?11 Ci
In 1962, the International Commission on Radiological Units suggested the usage of this unit named after Marie Curie.
Hope this helps! =)
radioactive Indian food
Since it's posted in the Cuisine category I assume you mean the food. The term curry is most likely an anglicized name for Kari derived from the usage of "Kari" in the South Indian languages to connotate some of the secondary dishes eaten with rice.
Curry leaves are used in various kinds of dishes common in South India. The term is now used more broadly, especially in the Western world, to refer to almost any spiced, sauce-based dishes cooked in various south and southeast Asian styles. Though each curry has a specific name, generically any wet side dish made out of vegetable and/or meat is historically referred to as a 'curry'--especially those yellow, Indian-inspired powders and sauces with high proportions of turmeric. The dishes are given specific names that indicate the meat and/or vegetable, method of cooking, or the particular spices used. Not all curries are made from curry powder; in India the word curry is heavily used in the southern part of India in languages like Tamil which is analogous to "sabji" in the north.
In Northern India and Pakistan, the word "curry" usually means "gravy," likely because it sounds similar to the word "tari" (which means "gravy" in many North Indian and Pakistani languages).
Bengali dishes called "Torkari" or vegetables stewed/dry in gravy is another potential source for the anglicized "curry" since the British occupation of India started in Bengal before Madras. Another theory is the root word for curry is "Kadahi" or "Karahi" denoting the cooking vessel used in Indian kitchens.
You mean curry, it's this indian spicy sauce
