So, last night I cooked a Beef Buffad from fresh, I have done this several times before and last night's was probably one of my best. However, I attempted to accompany the meal with some homemade onion bhajis which weren't quite as successful

What is your favourite curry or starter? Do you make it yourself and have you been pleased with the results

I hardly ever do the full from-scratch thing but I don't use jar sauce either - my standard friday night meal is chicken curry, usually boned and skinned thighs, fried with finely chopped onion, garlic, chilli, ginger, good dollop of decent curry paste, some extra turmeric, somtimes a chopped tomato or two then simmered for about three quarters of an hour with some split lentils, bit of coconut cream, maybe some ground almonds, sometimes add spinach too and finished with fresh coriander. Served with persian-style crispy bottomed rice.... mmm roll on Friday!

It's all in the prep. After the base has been made you can freeze it then knock any curry up in 10-15 mins.

I actually don't like curries or indeed any sauce based food.

I do however love spicy food so I tend to go for a tandoori mixed grill, saag aloo, bombay potato, naan and a biryani style rice dish but without the veg curry

I do like most of the starters pakora, bhaji and the like but love prawn puri the most.

I know I don't look it but I'm hungry now

Totally agree, I have worked for many Indian families in the past and some of the food they prepare and offer you is out of this world compared to what you get after a pub crawl with the lads on a Friday night

Just wish I'd learned how to knock up a decent onion bhaji though, mine always turn out too stodgy

I have had lessons from the chefs at what is arguably Devon's best Indian restaurant, I can now make onion bhaji's as good as the professionals.

My most successful main dish is Chicken Tikka Korma.

Can't make the naan like they do in the restaurant though, you need a tandoori oven to carry it off.

These days I leave it to the chefs to make it for me.

Try using red onions - they're not as juicy as white and don't make the chickpea flour too moist.

Being an Asian guy from Singapore... I find the bottled curry sauces sold in departmental stores a rip off to be honest... They don't hit the right spot for me... Prefer cooking curries from scratch...using fresh curry leaves, grind all the spices and frying them on medium hit with the curry powder and chili paste and powder... Adding fresh tomatoes to give it a touch of acidity before putting in the meat...mmmmmmm yum yum... My favorite has got to be mutton/lamb curry with a bowl of cold raita.

Chicken tika masalla was invented in Glasgow when a jock asked the waiter for some gravy for his chicken tika the chef improvised with tomato soup, cream and spices.

Some curries are named after regions, eg Madras.

Vindaloo is actually a Portuguese dish. Vind meaning wine and Aloo meaning garlic.

Even up in Rusholme we can't really get much authentic food outside of any major events, and there's tons of curry restaurants up there. All made from base sauces for western palates.

All this talk of curries etc and such a shame I can't eat any of them...

I've a serious allergy towards any form of spices, no matter how mild they can be and if I was to unwittingly eat any foods with spices in, I'd be in hospital pretty darn quick!

The last time I ended up in A&E, I was kept in for three days, such was my reaction!

My father always used to say that a curry wasn't genuine unless it was bringing out sweat on his brow for hours!

So, all you curry lovers, enjoy yourselves, you lucky people!

The best Bhajis we, and many of our friends, have ever had was fro a takeaway called Kismet, now sadly closed.

Unlike other Bhajis we've had, these were like a shredded Bhaji, dry with a slight crispness.

They served them in a brown paper bag, I always bought two bags and ate one on the drive home, delicious!

I'm not really sure how or why I didn't learn. I could make roti as a child but they don't come out as they should now. Thankfully, I am fed well every evening. I might have to request my all time favourite crab curry for my birthday.

Not a curry but a biryani. My mums though as she is amazing at making it.

Onion bhaji...you need gram flour. As your local continental/Indian shop.

Need any further help on that PM me.

I don't make my own curry pastes (never used sauces), and rely on those from Patak, and my recent discovery, Curry Tree curry pastes.

I would add extra garlic, onion, mushrooms, coriander, and toasted nuts etc...

Usually toast a few spicy poppadoms to go with the curry.

I made a Biryani using Curry Tree's mix for peeps at work, and it was lush!

I would definitely recommend Curry Tree's spice mixes.
