Bad ?? ;-): Only if you don't like curry! the aromatic spices of curry can cause odoriferous changes in the gut and mouth. Similar to the way one 'sweats out garlic', curry can behave similarly.

Could be a source: The other spices in the curry are a key also as there are many different spices added in different regions. So check all of the ingredients to better determine the bad breath source.

Curry breath :): If you eat spicy curry, you would temporarily have curry breath, not bad breath. Bad breadth occurs due to bleeding in the gum as the result of gum inflammation. Blood breaks down into variable sulfure compound (vsc), which gives rise to the smell. Other reason for bad breath would be fistula tract (bleeding gum boil) from the endo abscess or periodontal abscess.
