Curry recipes?

[d000hg]

We recently cooked our first curry from scratch, after years of takeaway. It was a thai curry and quite nice, but I'd love to be able to make balti, madras, korma, passanda... favourite takeaway dishes really.

I have no idea at all what goes in a curry to make the sauce, are there any good recipe books on "curry for idiots"? We have reasonable cooking skills between us (the wife & I), just no idea about curry.

Try this one.

You may want to moderate the quantities to your personal taste/tolerance.

Good luck.

You have no idea.

You think you do. The word haemorrage springs to mind.

Been there! Can catch you quite unawares! Only time and "the chocolate bullets" help.

OK, not for the squeamish, but have you ever smelled an "Anusol"?

Er, apparently a friend of mine has . . . . etc etc

a jar of ASDA chickpea and spinach sauce.

I guess that's the 'secret' filler, to make it look like curry?

I'm not into crazy-hot, Madras is my personal hotness limit. My local curry-house used to do a Jal Korma which was lovely... basically a hot Korma. Best of both worlds... creamy and sweet, but not so boring. Great as a breakfast curry

A friend of mine too, but luckily not for several years
