currying

Seasoning with spices

Currying has two distinct meanings.

In cooking, it means preparing food with curry spices or sauce: She's currying the chicken.

In computing, currying is transforming a function that takes multiple arguments into a sequence of functions that each take a single argument—a technique from functional programming named after logician Haskell Curry.
