Also, as a culinary nerd, all curries (Indian, Japanese, Thai, Jamaican, etc.) are descendants of the same ancient masala found in mohenjo-garo. It’s also the first instance of a blend prepared exclusively for flavor. It was later spread through trade and british colonization.

Could it have anything to do with karai (or karahi I think), which is a wok-like pan?

You could curry favor with a linguist. 😏

I can’t weigh in on Tamil, unfortunately, but I am a linguist with a focus in phonetics, so I can tell you about the pronunciation of the “r’s” in those Tamil words! In linguistics, “r” sounds are really unique! They’re called rhotic sounds. The first rhotic, /ɾ/ is what’s called a tap (or a flap for those who don’t make a distinction). This sound is most commonly made by retracting the tongue tip behind the alveolar ridge and moving it forward so that it strikes the ridge in passing. It does exist in English, but it is not a phoneme, or a meaning-carrying sound. Basically, if someone makes this sound instead of the normal English “r”, it doesn’t change the meaning of the word. For example, if you say the word “potty” quickly, the sound you probably make for the double t’s and y is this rhotic tap: /ˈpɑtɾ/. The second “r” sound is called a trill, and is the “rolling” r sound many people associate with the Spanish language.

I remember that in culinary school they taught us that curry means "spice", so I'm now extra invested

There is also a dish “kadhi” which when voiced by a Hindi speaker sounds like an Indian saying “curry”

This is Curry the cat. My kid brought her into the house, hissing and spitting and scratching and my kid said “this one is SPICY!” So we named her Curry.

Burb Grerntabule :
Tamil student here; curry is more complicated because it has further homophones. It can refer to "meat", but meat meant in the same old English sense (as in "mincemeat"), where it can refer to both animal meat and to things like fruit flesh. But curry can also be a term to describe any cooked vegetable. I couldn't help you with etymology though.

The old French is where we get the phrase to cury favour, literally to cook up approval.

JayZMercer :
You got the pronunciation correctly. கரி = coal, கறி = vegetable or meat (in traditional context), or used to denote its anglicized adaptation (sauce), like Chicken curry (Koli kulambu in tamil) or Fish curry (meen kulambu) or Mutton curry (Kari kulambu). Notice that the word curry itself is not used in Tamil but makes a tamilian understand what the English speaker wants (except for Mutton curry as it was the primordial derivative etymologically)
