"Curry" should be cancelled according to food bloggers in California
Quote:
South Asian-American food bloggers are calling on people to cancel the word curry because of the term's relationship with British colonialism.
Earlier this year, food blogger Chaheti Bansal, 27, posted an Instagram video calling on people to "cancel the word curry".

Re: "Curry" should be cancelled according to food bloggers in California
Good luck with that. It's an anglicised from of an old Tamil word "kari" and seems to originate in the 16th century.
In English it has other meanings outside food - curry favour, curry combing etc.

OK as long as you ban the words that are after VEGAN, like Sausage, Burger, Butcher and any animal name.

As for the yanks they should be banned for using the words Beer, Larger etc as their gnat urine is not fit to bear the name.

Re: "Curry" should be cancelled according to food bloggers in California
My father served in India during WW2. He quite liked the local food so much he brought home a couple of recipes and it became a mainstay in our family.Then when he was working in the British Colonial Service he and my mother managed to find a few West African dishes which were spicy and they were adopted as family favourites.
This is how we learn about others on this globe. Should I not cook Paella which is another dish I enjoyed when in Spain and decided to learn how to cook it.
This woman is a moron. 
Oh and apparently we learned about Fish and Chips from the French I discovered some time ago. Who cares where a dish/recipe comes if we enjoy it.

My response would result in a warning so I imagine you can all guess what I am thinking

Re: "Curry" should be cancelled according to food bloggers in California
She'll be moaning next that we call it a sauce and not a gravy.
Cook a UK style "bolognaise" sauce for anyone from Bologna, and expect fireworks that you dare give that name to whatever you produced.

Re: "Curry" should be cancelled according to food bloggers in California
Here's my Biryani recipe:
1/
In a big pot, fry onions, garlic and your spices (a Patak's paste will also do for the spices).
2/
Add the meat, preferably on the bone - so not chicken breast or lamb cubes (shoulder of lamb, goat or chicken thighs will be fine). I also add the stalks cut from the Coriander I use when serving the Biryani.
3/
When the meat is brown, pour raw Basmati rice on top (according to the number of people to be fed).
4/
Add boiling stock - as in water with a Knorr cube or Oxo or similar so that it just covers the rice.
5/
Bung in a few cardamoms and bay leaves.
6/Lid tightly on and put into the oven at Gas 5 or equivalent. It all cooks in the steam generated by the evenly spread heat. Should be done within 50 minutes. You can cook it on the hob instead (simmer temperature); the base will be blackened - actually quite delicious. Still 50 minutes.
Those who try this (with or without bone), please let me know what you think.
EDIT: PS - I've cooked this many times for parties of between 70 & 300 persons.
