Hairy Bikers curry recipe book is pretty awesome for home made curries, as for me, I do like a Madras as a standard option, but love trying any random offerings that random curry houses have to offer
 
also.....having lived in India for nearly 2 years during my life, i'd say the curries they have out there aren't necessarily better or nicer tasting than those we have here, however their starters are on another planet, so much variety and so many different options. Immense. Hydrabadi Chicken and Lamb Boti kebab from Soho's in Pune, my number 1 food of all time
 
I suspect most of the curry experts on here have never been further East than With.

Do you really think people in India go to the Taj Mahal Tandoori for a curry after having a few pints down the Red Lion?

I suggest you watch Rick Stein in India.

BTW
Having lived in China I know that they don't go down the Peking Duck takeaway and order number 37 with chips and curry sauce

After reading the thread there only appears to be yourself acting the expert.

We get it, you've been abroad, good for you. What's your favourite curry?

The thing that he seems to be missing is, I dont think anyone who goes for a curry after a few pints in England thinks that they're eating something authentically Indian or Pakistani.

This is embarrassing.

The point is there is no such thing as a curry. Very few people who cook in "Indian" restaurants in the UK are actually Indian and the dishes are not Indian.

I was referring to the people mocking me, not suggesting I am an expert. I don't know what the food I had overseas is called as I don't speak the languages. I just point and ask how much.

Really? No such thing as a curry? With an insight like that from your travels I'm surprised you managed the pointing & asking how much.

Newsflash - most English themed pubs and restaurants around the world dont always employ cooks born and raised in England. In Nicaragua I once had a roast dinner that didnt feature burnt to **** beef and soggy overly boiled veg and lumpy gravy.

The bastards.

That wasn't my point but never mind.

I had chips, fried rice and curry sauce from Golden Star on Bev Rd last night for my tea.

A more authentic Chinese curry you would be hard pushed to find
and I mean anywhere in the world.

Food doesn't get anymore Chinese than that pal.

It's what they all eat out there.

FACT.

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.
 
In answer to the opening post.

I like a Lamb Rogan Josh or Chicken Pasanda.
Usually with a Paratha.
Popadoms and pickles to start.

To sit in I like Raj Pavillion on Beverley Road.
For take away Chilli on Holderness ...collect rather than delivered.

Yea, heard good things about Raj Pavillion. I'll have to go do a review.
 
Whilst they may vary from different restaurants in general, how does Thai red curry compare in hotness with Indian mild, madras or vandaloo curries?

Does the 'red' in Thai Red Curry refer to the colour of your arse after eating it?
