curryphile

Similar to weaboos/koreaboos/sinophiles, but for Indian culture.

They fetishize Indian culture and tend to simplify it down to very few traits. Many curryphiles will obsess over Bollywood, Indian food, yoga, and might dabble in veganism or vegetarianism.

This can often be an outcome of visiting India for the first time and claiming to have a "spiritual awakening".
Jenny: Namaste, Karina! I visited India for the first time on a mission trip, and It was so amazing! The food was so good, I met all of these cute kids, and I'm definitely going to go back!
Karina: Jenny, why are you wearing a bindi?
Jenny: Oh, I just thought it was really pretty. Guess what? I decided I'd go vegan after my time in Hyderabad. I also signed up for a yoga class. Ahhh it's so cool! All of it!
Karina (under her breath): she's become a curryphile after a single trip...
