    A curry by the name of Korma exists in Pakistan and India, and if you search korma they all then define it as a type of curry so yeah, it counts as curry. The original tamil word karil just means sauce from the dish (that you put on rice). Trying to define curry is about as futile as defining gulai in malay imho. Like everyone who are only familiar with rendang tok style frothing at the mouth at rendang padang style made by western tv shows that one time. It’s a technique, not a specific recipe.

    Though by that definition dry curries aren’t, but they are understood as curry too now.
