Title: 1st curry
Post by: Urbansnooper on January 31, 2019, 10:53 AM
Hi all

 I have made a base sauce/gravy and got plenty frozen ready. I'm going to attempt my first curry this weekend after I go for more supplies but not sure what to try first. Just out of interest, what was everyones first curry and how did it turn out ?

 Cheers
 Rich

[W]hat was everyones first curry and how did it turn out ?

My first curry was a mutton curry, cooked at my then girlfriend's home in Smethwick, and was a complete and utter disaster (and probably totally inedible to boot).  I'm truly sorry you reminded me of it, even if it was 50 years ago !

But for your first curry, I would recommend going for something very simple such as a Madras (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=12535.msg101714#msg101714)

I think going for a simple curry without too many additional ingredients helps to hone your technique. A simple medium curry, a Dupiaza or as Phil says, a Madras would be ideal.
