You can't just straight out say "curry is british origin" or you'll have angry offended Indian and Pakistani on your ass.
I personally do not recognize the use of curry leaves (kari) in cooking as "curry" as we speak of it. (By the way, the word curry is of British origin.)

Fortuantely, my Indian friends agree with me.
