i've been eating curry in tins for a while and got to thinking how to actually make one myself. I dont really want to read recipe books cos they always seem overly complicated. just trying to figure out like the bare minimum. then i can make it myself from then on.

i tried a chicken curry i found on the net. Was ok. except there's definately a typo in it. 5 tablespoons of tomato puree was way too much. it was more like tomato curry.

it was basically

chicken
spices that made curry paste
+
onions
tomatoes
chicken stock
tomato puree.
+natural yog to thicken

obviously chicken and spices are required (i dont like other meat)
do curries always have onions & stock and tomato in?

any thoughts?

I rarely cook for myself. Recently I've been picking up a ready meal from Sainsburys on my way home.

Nah mate you want naan bread not poppadums.

I dont have a starter when I go for an indian now. I just have loads of the poppadums and onions stuff that they give you. I dont know if this is a brummy thing or a national thing

[Gigglyboots]

You wanna try two step sizzling korma from Uncle Ben's. Easy peasy.

i've been eating curry every day for the past two months... i'm still in love.

as for making curry. adam, you're going to need to experiment for a bit. i think onions are vital to a good curry. tomatoes, not as much. don't measure stuff- it's for the weak.

i'm a master chef.

i haven had a yop in ages, i remember i was addicted to them when i was 6.

generally you eat papadoms (the spelling at my indian) before even the starter as they usually are on the table when you get there.....

[Gigglyboots]

You mean onion bhajis? Bit of mango chutney, mmm. Curry, I wouldn't put too much tomato in it, but onion is pretty nice.

[Jonny Hoare]

onion bhajis and a nice naan. ickle u gonna take me for a indian?

[kendra k]

i like the pakora.

I'll take you for an Indian at my local Ruby, and you can try their rashmi kebabs. Best starter in the world!

Oh, and Jonny, hands off mate!

[Jonny Hoare]

not sharking at all morals....

Am I the only one who doesn't like curry?

[Eddie]

Maybe? I love the stuff!

[MK Chris]

I like a not-too-hot curry. Don't like none of that burn your mouth to f*ck bollocks.

[Gigglyboots]

I love the burn your mouth stuff, I remember we sat and made hot curries one time for the hell of it at work. It's fun as long as you have a glass of milk waiting to stop your mouth burning.

[MK Chris]

You sound like someone who might be interested in a few shots of chilli vodka. Although I would definitely advise against it.

[Chief Erf]

I like hot currys, they rule, i dont think ive ever had something that has been too hot for me, having said that, i prefer currys with a taste not just a pain.

[kendra k]

curries down the butt hurt.

i need CURRY today!
