[ShangriLewis]

I was taught how to make curry from an Indian friend. I really think the secret is how long they cook it when you eat out and all that ghee they add

Put onion (yellow or green) and a chunk of ginger in a blender or food processor. Blend up really well to make a paste. You saute this is in fat, oil, butter etc. Then add your spices. You can do a pre-ground blend or a mix of whole spices. I don't have a recipe I just use a bunch of whole spices and/or a curry spice I bought that comes from India. Saute whole spices till the pop or ground till they smell yummy. If you want a more Thai curry you can add some chilis and cilantro.

I bet you could find a spice mix online. I just buy stuff in bulk.

Now you can add some canned tomatoes, fresh tomatoes and/or coconut milk. I love Chakoah (spelling) brand. Some taste just awful.

Let that cook up a bit if you want a more Indian Curry or just heat up for a Thai Curry.

Now add the stuff you want. Chickpeas, red beans, small peeled potatoes, green beans, fried tofu...we had a Thai curry with avocado chunks the other day and it was so good. Indian curry can be prepared and put in the crockpot overnight to make it easier.
