Good curries? (hexbear.net)

I found the blog of some curry enthusiast and he talked me into making a big batch of a base curry sauce which I plan to freeze in small portions so I can make curries quick and easily on weeknights.

So far so good. I've just had an awesome butter chicken but now comes the question of what to make the next time.

Does anyone have suggestions for good curries, especially the milder ones as my kids and partner doesn't share my fondness for and tolerance of spicy food.

Massaman curry. It's a sweeter, milder curry that usually includes potatoes and some sort of nut (usually peanuts AFAIK, but the place I get it uses cashews).

Curry is kind of a generic term but based on the butter chicken I assume it's a gravy of veggie pulp and spices like garam masala? If so I think North Indian and Thai curries are your best bet. Any veggies and greens go well with those.

I was going to suggest some South Indian coconut based curries like avial if you are looking for something milder. They require a different base though. There are some traditional veggie pairings too.

But that's the beauty of curry. The word "kari," "kura," etc. is the Dravidian term for curry, which is its original etymology. It just means vegetable or vegetable dish. You can really do anything. We usually just finish off what we have in the fridge or pantry.

I don't know if Japanese curry rice really counts but that one is my go to. It's basically a big stew you can toss literally whatever in and then it's delicious. Last time I made it I threw in a whole can of tomato paste and it was one of the best I ever made
