@Appfaff:

Can some of my English friends please explain “Curry” to me..:

I’m intrigued and rather hungry and am interested in trying this raved about dish.

Is it red curry? Yellow curry? Chicken? Beef? Rice? Noddles? Something I’ve never heard of or had before??

Likewise, there is Thai curry and Japanese curry, in addition to Indian curry. Depends how spicy you like your food. I tend to favor Japanese curry because I grew up eating the stuff and it's mild. But I also like sweet/spicy Thai curry. If you want some serious 'ring sting' then Indian curry is pretty darned good too

Traditionally curry refers to Indian cuisine and this is what most Brits refer to when they say curry.

It’s an absolute blast to learn about and make Indian food. I’d strongly suggest making some classic recipes first, using the correct ingredients and techniques. After that you can get crazy.

Since my first attempt at making ramen was somewhat of a success - I may try to attempt a curry - I just don’t really like hot foods, so I’ll tone down the chillis..

I’ll keep everyone posted - probably won’t get around to it until next week or so… it’s storming here and doubt my wife needs me to make a $300 trip to Whole Foods to make my lunch food for the week buying stable ingredients lol [emoji23]

There are lots of Indian curries that are very mild, using little or no chilli. Try Kormas…

[Megatron1505]

I was going to suggest a Korma. Very mild with strong coconut flavour, fairly easy to make a decent job of one too.

Chicken Korma is my absolute favorite,with a garlic Nan.

Mmmmm, gosht korma and garlic naan, fresh out of the oven.  Finish it off with some gulab jamun.

Damn you, now I want Indian food for dinner…

[Megatron1505]

If you're a fan of spinach, like I am, I'd also suggest making a chicken tikka saag. Another great mild curry

[Appfaff]

And my only Indian friend just moved back to Houston!!! I’ll be sure to let you guys know if I have questions - korma sounds like a nice easy start for me lol

Saag paneer is where it's at.

[Jett129]

That’s my second favorite dish. If you guys are ever in NYC,we have to go for some Indian food!!!

Saag paneer is a personal favourite. I like to dial up the heat though.

Sometimes consecutive nights!

Butter chicken, naan bread and a beer
