as the verb and food has different etymology. The phrase "curry favor" comes from the definition of curry (as a transitive verb) as "to clean the coat of (as a horse) with a currycomb."

(c) "William Makepeace Thackeray, the 19th-century English satirist, was born in Calcutta, and once penned an ode to curry. ' 'Tis, when done,” he wrote, “a dish for Emperors to feed upon.' ”

(d) "Most Britons, at least according to various opinion polls, consider chicken tikka masala, a British colonial adaptation consisting of chunks of chicken drowned in yogurt and a spicy tomato paste, their national dish — more so than fish and chips with mushy peas."
