An archaic or dialectal term for a method of food preparation, or a variant of 'curry' referring to a spiced dish.
From Middle English and Old French origins, related to the word 'curry' which comes from Tamil 'kari' meaning sauce. The spelling 'cury' represents an earlier form of the dish's name used in medieval English texts.
The famous 14th-century cookbook 'The Forme of Cury' used this spelling, showing that what we call 'curry' today was already known in England centuries before the British colonial period in India—and they were spelling it differently!
