'Currie' is only a surname, I think, as in British politician Edwina. It's not in my Oxford as an alternative. But (to borrow Aleta's catchphrase) what do I know? Ro Thorpe 18:39, 6 February 2008 (CST)

Just checked: definitely was an alternative spelling of the dish, Ro, according to Webster's, though whether you'd find it written thus today, I'd bet "no". Aleta Curry 19:20, 6 February 2008 (CST)
OK, I'll put in a 'formerly' then. Ro Thorpe 09:36, 7 February 2008 (CST)

Just to confuse things...

Indian groceries sell something called "curry leaves", which are rather like a bay leaf. There is something called the "curry plant" or "kari plant", which I've grown but is completely different; it has grayish-white leaves and a distinct turmeric smell, but you can only use it in cold dishes as the flavor is destroyed by heat. Works fine in raita.

Afraid to mix one's own spices? Harrumph. Howard C. Berkowitz 04:48, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
