The Indians call the spice mixtures used to cook with 'masalas'!.!.!.in most masalas is the ground curry leaf, so the British just learned to call all of it curry!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Most ethnic cuisines have "dominant" spices!. These would be those easily propogated in whatever region the cuisine is derived!. Indian and most middleeastern food is often seasoned with the spice "curry" -- garam masala, nugmeg, cardamom, fenegreek and others are also common!. Not knowing the exact name of a dish will result in the shortcut of naming the predominant spice!. You are from your question, clearly not an adventurous eater!. Maybe stick to what you know!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
