Indian people will tell you that the "Indian dishes" which are popular in the West are not actually Indian. Tikka masala is British-originated for example. Curry is also a specific dish but the word became a catch all term for any Indian food with curry sauce.
I can confirm: authentic Indian dishes are in fact not primarily based on premixed spices made into cream based gravies.
Indian migrants have made some pretty interesting dishes by integrating with local cuisine. Case in point: bunny chow.
