I have made a lot of curries over the years. I make a pretty good Trinidadian-style chicken curry, and a good Burmese beef curry. I make a good rendang (maybe not a curry, but close).
I make quick Thai curries from grocery store red or green curry paste, and that does the trick for me.
I have come to the realization, my Indian curries from scratch usually are meh. I have a dozen Indian cookbooks. I prefer the way my curry turns out when I rely on an Indian spice kit, the kind that has some spices you toast in oil, with some sauce in a pouch. The last one I made tasted like curry from a restaurant . I haven’t been ordering takeout much, and this is cheaper than takeout. I like this Spice Tailor brand . I have not tried the Pataks version. Probably similar.

I like Japanese curries I’ve tried in restaurants. I haven’t made any at home.
