Curry in India means, colloquially, just any dish with some gravy. Not gravy as in Western cuisine, which is made separately and poured onto some food (or kept on the side), but gravy as in, a dish that is somewhat liquid-y.
Whereas (I think) in British slang, curry means any (quite) spicy (as in pungent) Indian or South Asian dish.

Japanese curry tends to be less spicy. My point is curry is an international dish with lots of regional variation and each has its own authenticity.
