Tips
- The key to a good curry is toasting the spices to bring out their flavor; be incredibly careful they don don't burn.
- Having your onion already chopped means you can throw it in to immediately lower the heat in the pan when the spices are ready.
- This is a great curry base recipe to use with fish or chicken.
