Comment

I always thought of curry as Indian but my readings are showing it has a significant British influence as well. It basically is both a particular spicy dish and a collection of spices that have coriander, cumin, turmeric, mustard, cinnamon and cardamom in common, with additional spices added depending upon the region.
