Love the smell and the taste, trouble is I can't digest it these days. If I have some it's got to be midday so I've got half a chance of sleeping that night!

Like most that involve chicken. Sometimes beef.

Reasonably hot is my preference, not so its burning my mouth lining out, so usually a madras. Me dad got me to try his Phal when I was in my mid 30s. Felt like I was eating fresh lava. ****y waiter when I asked him for water cos me mouth was on fire, pointed at the fire extinguisher, laughed, and ****ed off. The **** him.

Do like a proper jalfrezi too.

Almost all curries, if made using decent and fresh ingredients are fab.

Naan, onion bahjis and saag paneer.

Mug of tea and some scraps.

Lovely.

Agree. I'm more of a lamb/beef person, but chicken just works better in curry. With te exception of duck in Chinese curry, dependant on the quality of the Chinese.

Pork curry is a waste of otherwise good curry sauce. I like pork, but its awful in curry.
 
Gotta love a traditional Chinese chicken curry.

Chicken in curry sauce when it's made with loads of onions and a few peas.

Bloody gorgeous, couldn't give a flying for authentic authenticity.
Perfect and just about right taste wise for me too, I can't be bothered with ring burners.
If i'm a bit under the weather I ask them to make it slightly hotter and my local add a chopped chilli to give it a bit of a kick.

My missus found a box of powder that makes that style of Chinese curry. Mayflower Chinese Medium Curry mix.

She makes it with just chicken, loads of onions and peas (which normally I hate, but in this, they're ok). It's genuinely one of my favorite things she makes.

The bag of chinese curry sauce they they sell in Heron(s) is great.

As mentioned earlier by someone, for a proper curry I make a base sauce which I then freeze and use when I have a curry.

Base sauce is pretty much all onion, slow cooked then blended with ginger, garlic and herbs and spices and tomato puree. Takes about 2 hours.

Wife prefers my korma to any other she has had (using ground cashew nuts and single cream).

I really like my vindaloo (using balsamic amongst other ingredients) and my Tikka Masalla (did you know it was Scottish?).

My naans are good also, but I agree parathas are better. Maybe a keema one.

For me Lamb makes by far the best curry. Chicken is okay though. Pork is great for sides but not for me in a curry, and beef just doesn't work for me at all.

My Grimsby Indian was cancelled so i decided to take the Mrs to Bengal Pride on Chants. Had the Tandoori meal for two. Bloody lovely. Couple of pints of Cobra to wash it down.
Why am i craving chocolate now though??
 
Anyone tried Opihr oriental spiced gin?
Very good, but tastes slightly like curry! Maybe a slight taste of cardomom ... worth trying, maybe pre curry?
