How do I make a flavorful curry from scratch

Sure thing! Here are six different ways you can whip up a tasty curry from scratch:

1. **Basic Spice Blend**: Start with some onions, garlic, and ginger sautéed in oil. Then, add spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala. Toss in your choice of veggies or protein, add coconut milk or tomatoes, and let it simmer. Serve it with rice or naan!

2. **Marinate Your Protein**: If you’re using chicken or tofu, marinate it in yogurt with spices like chili powder and turmeric for a few hours. Cook the marinated protein with onions, garlic, and ginger, then add your favorite curry sauce or make one from scratch with tomatoes and spices.

3. **Curry Paste**: Blend together fresh ingredients like cilantro, green chilies, garlic, and ginger to make a paste. Sauté it in oil, then add your choice of meat or veggies. Pour in some coconut milk and let it simmer until everything is cooked through.

4. **One-Pot Wonder**: In a big pot, sauté onions, garlic, and ginger, then add diced tomatoes and a mix of spices. Toss in your protein and any veggies you have on hand. Pour in some broth or coconut milk, let it cook down, and you’ve got a hearty curry!

5. **Experiment with Different Bases**: Use different bases like coconut milk, yogurt, or even just broth. Start with your sautéed aromatics, add your protein, then pour in the base of your choice along with spices. Adjust the seasoning to taste and let it simmer.
