Every time I make curry, I try a different recipe (always one that calls for powder or paste, becase I never have all the spices on hand to try the full-on scratch recipes), and this one is my favorite of the ones I've tried. Adding the cinnamon, ginger, and garlic to the curry blend (I used hot curry paste, because that's what I had) makes it so nice. The one thing I didn't do, just because it's hot and I didn't want to turn the oven on, was roast the onions; I cooked them in some butter before adding the cinnamon. Still delicious - I definitely plan to follow the recipe exactly when it cools down a bit. Thanks!

Hot and spicy. Life is just too short for bland food.
I think food should be a pleasure not just something to get you through the day. What irritates me is fast food (really it's called junk food for a very good reason) and processed food with very high quantities of fat, salt and sugar. Basically I like a meal to be an event in my day (does not mean that I spend hours cooking) to relax with my family or friends.
If I had a month off work, I would spend my time trying to create the perfect curry sauce.
