I don't think I have ever tried a Thai curry but I know we always get our curry from a Chinese take-away and on occasions from an Indian take-away, so, seeing you did not have Chinese on the poll then I would have to go for an Indian but I will only eat any of them with EGG FRIED rice.

Thai curries for me, as Indian curries, while good, are usually too rich/heavy for me, and I prefer the lightness and spice profile of Thai curries.

That's probably because curry is not really a thing in Chinese cuisine outside of British takeaways :P

It's funny though, I have gone potty on egg fried rice yet once upon a time I would never touch a curry with rice and only have it with chips instead,

Whenever I see images of British Chinese food, it's basically just all brown xD

I like them both but overall, I'd lean more on the side of a good Indian curry with coconut and a lot of low-end spice vs what we get outside of India which is just cream and hey have we added enough cream yet? It's slowly changing in places but it's nowhere close to what we get at home.

Something like this

Goan prawn curry ladled over steamed rice and served in a white bowl with a fork on the side

Thai curry is actually really good too, but I err on the side of eating it mostly with seafood as I find chicken to be a bit on the meh side.

I like both, but I prefer Indian curries.

Off topic but the wife made Bolognese tonight and as I don't like spaghetti with it she made it with tagliatelle which I like.

Tagliatelle > spaghetti for most sauces, imo.

I think it goes back to when we I first married and we went around to the wife's cousins for a meal and she made spaghetti bolognaise but all she gave me was a plate full of COLD spaghetti with a tiny blob of mince and cheese in the middle, hated that stuff ever since.

I was tempted to try it tonight with the bolognese as long as the wife did not give me too much and made sure the mince, mushrooms etc covered the spaghetti.

Love Thai curry with beef and rice. i sometimes might as well just chuck it straight in the toilet and save some time sitting on the pot and getting the ring of fire :4_joy: but it's still one of my favourite 4 sure

Which apna curry? The ones with a higher ratio of salon in or the karahi dishes which have less salon and more herbs and masala.

What do you mean mushrooms? Mushrooms in a Bolognese?

This is a tough choice as I love both. 

When we talk curry are we exclusively looking at curry or does a korma fit the definition of a curry,  similarly would cashew nut chicken stir fried rice or pad thai count?

In South Africa we have a bunny chow,  it is a mutton masala curry with potatos and all the bells and whistles stuffed into a hollowed out half loaf of bread with the hollowed out bread then acting as a plug.   trust me its amazing.   I had also dated and indian girl for around a year and her mother could cook like nothing I have experienced.

The Hirshon South African Durban 'Bunny Chow' Lamb Curry

 

That is one thing I will miss when I leave,  South African food is incredible.

Thats a toughie. If I had to choose my favourite is probably korma. My fiancee is lactose though so we make more Thai curries and use coconut milk as a base for most at home.
