Curry is comfort food to me. When I was in Japan as a child, they used to sell these bouillons of curry that you woudl put in a pot with water and I guess all the spices were in the bouilon. The idea of a curry from scratch has always intimidated me. Any resources to look to with good EASY recipes?

I had no idea that there was curry in Japan. Although I do know about wasabi, that's their hot stuff!
I have this wonderful cook book called 50 Great Curries of India by Camellia Panjabi. But the best curries come from just messing around in the kitchen!

pearl_mattenson, if you're looking for an easy recipe check out the internet! :o) I don't think curry is that difficult, the best bit is making a curry paste from scratch using a mortar and pestle.

I cook some form of (vegetarian) curry everyday. What I love about it is its versatiliy...it makes a nutritious and delicious side with Indian bread(roti), rice and several other types of dishes. One thing to watch out for while making curry though is the amount of oil you use. Although just one or two tea spoons should suffice for seasoning purposes, the dish tastes richer with more oil or butter added(what doesn't?) So, to reap the nutritious benefits of all the ingredients, it's important to keep the fat content low.
