I adore curry. Jack, here's a recipe I found years ago and its quite simply my favourite food ever. I say that without reservation. And it's vegan, by sheer coincidence. I've made it at least as many times as my next ten or so favourite dishes combined. Chickpeas are awesome! I love that pic. You can also have it with rice. In my house it is eaten with a bread called "bhatura" but that bhatura is way different from not just any bhatura you will get in London but even the any bhatura you will get in Delhi.
By the way I will like to make an observation. For the first 20 years of my life I never even heard the term called "curry". It's not frequently used in India and I don't think there even is a word called Curry in original Hindi. But I know it is derived from another Hindi word. Dishes are simply called by their names and we say we want more gravy if we want more of it. Not that we want more curry.
The earliest depiction of the word curry I have seen comes from a Basil Rathbone/ Nigel Bruce movie from Sherlock series of movies - Terror by Night (1946)
Great movie! I do recommend all the movies from this series. Sherlock is way more superior to Bond.
According to Google and Wiki 'curry' derives from tamil 'kari' for sauce, which is enough for me. Love Holmes, hate Rathbone/Bruce. Try the Granada series with Jeremy Brett as Holmes and Burke/Hardwicke as Watson (both excellent). It's the very apex of Conan Doyle adaptations, never surpassed. Looking into 'bhatura'...
