Do You Know?

In North India, dishes are classified as sukhi (dry) and tari wali (with liquid). The word ‘tari’ is derived from Persian word ‘tar’ meaning ‘wet’ and has no implications for the presence or absence of spice, or whether the dish is Indian or not (e.g. any stew, spicy or not, would be considered a ‘curry dish’, simply because it is wet).

In Urdu, curry is usually referred to as ‘saalan. The equivalent word for a spiced dish in Hindi, is ‘masaledar’ (i.e. with masala).
