Would you do that even for something as commonplace as (e.g.,) "a pint of milk", T63 ?  And if so, would you approximate it as [570 ml], or be as exact as you can [568.26125 ml] ?

it also meant converting whatever units of measurement the 11th-century chefs were using into the metric system.

Now that is a surprise — I thought that Americans were inextricably wedded to measuring ingredients in cups (etc) and had no idea what a millilitre (sorry, Americans — milliliter) or gram was ...

Although I have visited Japan at least twice, I don't think that on any occasion I set out to eat Indian food when there, nor do I remember ever eating the same in Japan, even by chance, so I am not in a position to confirm or deny the hypothesis that Japanese Indian cuisine might in any way resemble BIR.  But if it does, I will be mildly surprised.

[...]I think this colour is still in fashion as the exterior of several pubs hereabouts are resplendent in it. 

There was also one (possibly this one) a few miles from my home in Chainhurst (Kent) when I last lived there (2017) — it was generally described as being "battleship grey", and I (and everyone else I knew) loathed it ...

In modern Indian cookery, "curry" refers to spice blends with turmeric as their key ingredient; spice blends without turmeric are called masala.
