Your statement about the plant, of which there is an edible and
inedble plant, is as misleading and vague as the facts about the food
"curry". I jes made a Moroccan tagine and the term "curry" is nowhere
to be found, but I'll gar-own-damn-tee you it's a curry jes the same.
Let's stick to the OPs question about a curry --the food/sauce/etc--
and leave the much mailigned and almost impossible to prove
history/etymology of the term out of it.
