I have been making curry since about 1970. It can be Indian, East African, Caribbean, Chinese or Thai, Indonesian etc, etc. With minor local variations.
I think they’ve given you something extra in yours.

Totally. The Mrs makes a mean Rendang (Malaysian curry).

This is an all to common approach to food now.Hang on, you tried one curry once and didn't like it, so you've written off that entire cuisine?
Come down to London, I'll take you for a proper curry, see if you like it then. And no, I'm not joking.
I don't get it.
Wrong on both claimsone day you will mature and enjoy it
More or less... Tried it at a friend's house when I was a teenager for the first time.. no idea where he ordered it from but I nearly threw up after trying it, so it's put me off for lifeHang on, you tried one curry once and didn't like it, so you've written off that entire cuisine?

I am in London, thanks for the offer but I'll pass, don't like the smell either and not a fan of spices.

Curry is an anglicised form of the Tamil கறி kaṟi meaning 'sauce' or 'relish for rice' that uses the leaves of the curry tree (Murraya koenigii).[8][self-published source?][9] The word kari is also used in other Dravidian languages, namely in Malayalam, Kannada and Kodava with the meaning of "vegetables (or meat) of any kind (raw or boiled), curry".[10] Kaṟi is described in a mid-17th century Portuguese cookbook by members of the British East India Company,[11]
Curry can be from many cultures including mainland China, Hong Kong, Singapore it is not only an Indian subcontinent dish.

Homemade or nothing, clearly.
So no chillies then?
There was a fantastic curry house in the village I grew up in (although granted, this was 25+ years ago )

Most of what Brits think of as 'indian' curry in the UK is made by Bangledeshi people, and is very westernised.
I happened to live near quite a good 'curry house' (and a lot more bad ones) where I regularly get a Dhansak.
I also live near a proper Indian restaurant that does actual Indian food that changes every month:

Wish there’s Thai takeaways that deliver to me. Love Thai.
There’s a 95% chance I will order a takeaway tonight as is SSS (super **** Saturday) in retail. Just need something that blows my cold away. Thai soup did this.

Chicken Tikka Masala is British invention.
Like Spaghetti Bolognaise. The Italians use rigatoni

Pretty much every BIR dish has been developed or tweaked to suit the British palette. Nothing is authentic.
