curries
Fragrant Indian dishes
Curries is the plural of curry, a dish of meat or vegetables cooked in a spiced sauce, originating in South Asian cuisines: We ordered three different curries.
As a verb form, curries means to prepare food with curry spices, or to groom a horse with a currycomb.
To curry favor is to seek approval through flattery—a phrase unrelated to the spice.
