Curry recommendations?
Discussion
Just looking for a little guidance because I enjoy curry but I don't eat it very often and, when I do, I pretty much always have the same thing - chicken dopiaza. I want to branch out and try something else but I'm not sure what I'd enjoy - I like medium-hot curries with lots of sauce, so any recommendations would be welcome, thanks 
My go to curry has to be Rogan Josh. I cook quite a few different curries but always gravitate back to this, especially a slow cooked lamb version.
Get yourself a few store cupboard ingredients such as-
Cumin seeds
Ground coriander
Ground turmeric
Garam masala
Paprika
Cardomom pods
Root ginger
Garlic cloves
Fresh Chillies and Chilli flakes
You’ll be able to cook most curry dishes from those few spices. Note no fresh coriander in there, can’t stand the stuff, but knock yourself out if you’re one of the weirdos that likes it

Home or Restaurant ?
Pre Covid, we used to eat at the local Curry houses frequently, and I nearly always try something that sounds different.
Its about the only way to discover new dishes.
My regular haunt often make me dishes they think I may like, that arent on the Menu.

So my question would be, are you talking cooking at home or takeaways? Lamb Achari is a good one, has lime pickle in it so has a nice sharp edge that cuts through the richness.
As said you can always ask them how hot/mild you want it to be. I quite often do this, especially when ordering a chicken chaat starter as they tend to be pretty mild so always ask for madras hot as I like the spice.

But I tried a Noorjahani the other week, which I enjoyed.....

I'm a girl but the advice is sound! I've got curry on my mind for tonight and I am determined not to order a dopiaza
Apologies....Be bold....so many Curries, so little time......
One of the best dishes ive ever had was a Railway Curry from the Mother India Cafe in Edinburgh....
