I'm not sure if a story is required but here is mine:

When I was younger, I would try my dad's takeaway curry on a piece of peshwari naan, and would always feel Ill after, this lead to me to a 10 year boycott on chicken (me blaming that for the illness) tried chicken about 4 years ago or so and felt fine, had a diam bar and was Ill. Turns out it was almonds I was allergic to... so about 3 years ago I had my very own curry at a restaurant. Although not the best experience as it was recommended I had a Korma... but my almond free experiences have been very good since! Scene as I enjoy not spending a lot of money on things, I figured: I'll make my own curries... so my quest continues. I requested the under cover curry book for Xmas and have since made a good 20l of gravy. So I figured I'd post some of my experiences with it (in another area of the forum perhaps). As can be deduced from my introduction, I am a beginner. But I will contribute as much as I feel will make a difference.
