The word curry came from the Tamil word "kari," meaning sauce. The Tamil language was spoken by peoples of southern India and North-east Sri Lanka. The word was anglicised after members of the British East India Company, trading with Tamil merchants, sampled dishes made with a spice blend used for "kari" dishes. The spice blend was called "kari Podi" or curry powder. The British called the Indian spice "curry."
