I agree:But I know it is difficult to understand HOW easy, when you havent done it before. If you are going to go with a pre-prepared, like a Korma or Madras, I prefer to use the ones in the packets (purple?) cant remember the brand. If you want to try it yourself, grab some of your favourite spices, make into a paste with a bit of water and let stand for an hour or so (if you have time) then fry paste in either ghee or oil, maybe with onions, garlic etc, add your preferred medium (coconut cream, tomato, yoghurt, whichever) and finally your meat and voila!

Think that's the Pataks and they seem to be OK.I think most of them are fairly nice really... there is a huge variance in what's in the packets depending on the brand... so it really is just personal taste.

If I was using packet I would use the Asian Gourmet ones, that arein purple packet also, well the indian varieties anyway. You do have to add the tomatoes onions etc.

Once you make a curry paste yourself and make a curry with it you will never go back to packets. I doubted but spent the money purchasing the main spices and it is really worth the effort. I have made korma and butter chicken and a couple of others for my family and they loved it. The best thing is once you have made it you can adjust the taste to suit you. Making something like garam masala is the key. I can post the Butter Chicken recipe I use if you want tomorrow.

Grind the coriander seeds, (sieve if any large husks remain). Blendall of the ingredient together and store in an airtight jar. This recipe makes 3 ounces of curry powder.
Hmmm:Maybe not so mild.. Just adjust to your tastes...
