Where Does the Term “Cari” Come From?
The word "cari" comes from the Tamil "kari," meaning “stew” or “saucy dish.” It crossed oceans with Indian communities who settled in the Caribbean and Indian Ocean regions, adapting to local ingredients. Over time, Creole cari became a culinary symbol of these mixed cultures, blending African, Indian, and European influences.
