English term or phrase: Curry

Greetings,

I wonder if you have anything like curry in Iran. Perhaps you even invented it!

In many western countries, beef curry, lamb curry, chicken curry etc. is a favourite dish.

Best

Simon

PS Please apprise me of any ezafes/kasres if applicable.

Explanation:
We have a kind of spice mixture, originally from India, that we call کاری or ادویه کاری. Please note that ادویه is the word for spices; it is the plural of دوا (=spice, literally drug).

curry خوراک کاری/Curry Dish

Explanation:
I believe your question is "Do we any dishes prepared using curry?". If so, I shoud say, YES. I am not sure whether we have invented them, but we are acquainted with them.

Here are some examples:

اگر با غذاهاي هندي مشكلي نداشته باشي امروز را مي توان با انواع خورشت كاري افطار كرد: كاري ماهي، كاري گوسفند و كاري گوساله. كاري ميگو هم خوش مزه است اما همه ميگوها با كله و دست و پا هستند. يك خرده خوردن آن دل مي‌خواهد.

من که باورم نمیشه. حالام این‌جا نشسته‌ام و به حرف‌های جنون‌آمیز این بابا در مورد خوراک کاری گوش می‌کنم.)

گروهبان گفت: اگر غذای کاری دوست داشتی اون شب برات یک عیش و عشرت طلایی بود. من کاری دوست داشتم و حسابی خوش گذروندم. کاری گوساله، کاری مرغ، کاری کرم تایلندی، انواع کاری‌های ماهی و کاری‌های سبزیجات مختلفی که دلت بخواد.

Different curry dishes mentioned in the above example are:

Khoresht-e kAri (Curry Stew)
Kari-ye mAhi (Fish Stew)
kAri-ye bareh (Lamb Curry)
kAri-ye goosAleh (Beef Curry)
khorAk-e Kari (Curry Dish)

-e and -ye stand for kasreh.
