When I'm in a hurry, I love a curry. Nothing beats that ol' slurry. My cousin is a furry.

I just started using chickpeas instead of meat in my curries, We've found that you only really taste the sauce anyway, chickpeas are high in protein and fibre and lower cholesterol. And they're cheaper than meat too.
In answer to the original question, I like a madras or a jalfrezi. Tried a vindaloo once and gave up.

Yeah, been doing the chickpeas for the past 7-8 years now. Absolutely love the texture, and very easy to make at home.

Green.
Though really anything with some coconut milk in it. But not too much.
South Asian curries are great, but can be a bit too heavy for me sometimes (and I love spicy heat).
I do like Japanese curry... but it's a ultimately a poor imitation/adaption and quite bland. I'd almost not call it a curry (even if the word originally meant something like 'sauce').

Spicy Vindaloo. I usually cube boneless, skinless chicken breasts, baby carrots, red or golden potatoes, onions, garlic, little tumeric, possibly some spicy fucking peppers.
I throw on some Basmati in the Rice God and call it a day. I cook the chicken curry until it's thick and.... omg.. it's ultimate one of the most revitalizing meals I ever have eaten.
You can alter the recipe by going all out on the veggies. I usually pick veggies based on their vitamin makeup.
Also, have had 19 types of curry while eating in the same venue as the former governor of Nagano, Japan. in 2008-2009? My memory is fuzzy.
I think it was a small event, known to a few. I just happen to be visiting, lol.
Why not? Also, I looked up examples of Thai Curry, wow.... Now, I want to try it, and, while I am not eating as much spicy, I want to go all out on the spicy, when I do! Just for that first try.

I love Tandori so usually when I eat indian I get that. But generally I love Thai curry, all kinds.
I used to go to one thai place we always got the panang curry. We used to ask for extra spicy. They kept making is spicier and spicer until once time it was me and 2 friends we were eating and just blowing our noses and melting our mouths and it was not enjoyable at all. The next time we finally asked them to tone down the spice, they defeated us it was embarrassing lol.
I also love Japanese Katsu but I dont like it wit Curry, give me some bulldog sauce.

Anything hot and spicy! Vindaloo is nice but doesn't have much of a kick in it. I do sometimes buy a Vindaloo and add more chilli to it. Anytime that I buy a curry from a restaurant and it's listed as "HOT" then I am always disappointed. I guess that they can't make it too hot because you don't want customers complaining that they were farting out flames.
When I'm making homemade curry I buy hot & spicy curry paste, sprinkle some cayenne pepper, throw in some habanero flakes, and some dried carolina reaper. If I want just a hot curry then only put a tiny bit of CR in or leave it out completely. With CR it goes from enjoyable hot to painful that you literally have to force yourself to eat it. The last time I made it I was dripping of sweat and I had to drink almost a full bottle (4 pints/ or about 2 litres) of milk before my mouth started to stop burning and after that I could feel it working its way through my body over the next few days. I had stomach cramps and going to the toilet was like peeing or pooping out lava. I don't know why I even bother to make such hot food because it's painful and I know I'm going to suffer.
I still do enjoy mild curries. I do like some green thai curry now and then.

Probably Massaman, Thai Green, or Katsu for me.
Certainly not that oily, cheap slop they throw together for drunk British people in Indian restaurants.

Yes, they are. That's what makes them Japanese curry.
Now, of course there will be some Japanese person out there making something less sweet (that's also not just another culture's curry).
And I agree. They're too sweet. Generally if I want sweetness in a curry, I go with coconut milk and/or mango chutney as a condiment.

While it doesn’t serve curry specifically, you have to try this Nepalese restaurant in Amsterdam. It was one of the best restaurants I ate at while there.

Tell me moar. I've um ... never cooked with chickepeas ever, so what's the prep and cooking process like? I'm getting to an age where I should start cutting down on the meat, and looking at more healthier choices

It's definitely, I believe, a healthier choice, and the one thing about chickpeas (for me at least) is they make you feel full faster.Tell me moar. I've um ... never cooked with chickepeas ever, so what's the prep and cooking process like? I'm getting to an age where I should start cutting down on the meat, and looking at more healthier choices
I have two main curries with chickpeas I like to make. I'll give you my breakdown for the first -- a very traditional one. I use three ripe romas, two large sweet onions a half a head (about six cloves) of garlic. Saute the onions (in about two tbsp of good evoo on a medium eat -- just below the oil's burning point) to your liking. Here lately, I prefer them a little browner. Once they're done to your liking, add about a quarter to half tsp of kosher salt, cumin, turmeric, garam masala and the minced garlic (don't use the pre-bottled garlic -- trust me, mincing garlic is easy) -- I used to also add a nice-sized chunk of ginger, but I now save that for my chicken curry. Saute those for a few minutes, then add about a tbsp of tomato paste (optional -- I didn't always do that, but sometimes I prefer a thicker curry) and your fresh tomatoes. Cover the pan and let simmer (without removing the lid to stir) for 10 minutes, add chickpeas (I use two cans of Kroger's organic), stir, cover, another 10 minutes, stir, then I do three cycles of 15 minutes, stirring between cycles, slowly lower the heat to medium-low between each cycle. Shut the heat, let sit for a bit, or eat whenever you're ready. Me, I always cook them ahead of time, so I'll have two days worth of meals for myself. But your call. And as for the spices, I always put about a 1/2 a tsp of each, but depending on my mood, it could end up being more or less.
The other version I make is identical except for the spices. I substitute those with one whole cinnamon stick, coriander and ground cloves (same measurements). It's my new go-to curry. Almost tastes like BBQ curry.

.Open the can, pour away the water (though I just found out you can actually use this for other things).
Then I normally microwave them for a couple of minutes and chuck them in the curry sauce which may or may not have come from a jar or packet...
And done.
I'm getting better at cooking from scratch, but curry is still a convenience thing for us.

Chicken Tikka Masala for me. I just love dipping naan bread in it, it's lovely.
My second favourite would be Chicken Jalfrezi.

Yup. And that's another thing I failed to mention. Depending, again, on what I'm hankering for, I'll either use (traditionally) the water of one can in the curry, but sometimes the water from both cans, or neither.My approach is slightly less finessed than

It's true.Phaal's aren't for the faint hearted.
When I used to eat them on a regular basis it was fine. Then I moved to USA (from London, UK) and it was much harder to find a decent curry.
A few years go by and I visit my parents back in the UK and I finally have a phaal after 5 years or so.
My body was NOT ready.

I can remember my dad eating them regularly when I was a child. I tried one once and I couldn't feel my face! The experience on the toilet I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.It's true.

Time to gamble. I'd strongly advise checking the hygiene rating before venturing into any restaurant, but that's just my paranoia.

Thai red curry. But the catch is, there was a Thai restaurant called Rama in Fullerton CA in the 80s/early 90s, and they made the best red curry I've ever had. I almost always got it with shrimp. I moved away in 1994, and even when I do get back home occasionally, they closed probably not long after I moved. My life since then has been trying to find any other place that even comes close. Always a big fail. Rama's was very liquidy and sweet, but also very spicy. Everyone else makes it way too thick and pasty.
