Dinner last Monday night: red curry with chicken and lots of vegetables (potato, sweet potato, broccoli, onion and green beans). Jac used red curry paste from a jar – Valcom brand, I believe. I think I prefer Thai green curry to red, but this was very tasty.
My favourite curry dishes (in no particular order):
- Malaysian chicken curry – with chicken on the bone, with lots of potato, served with rice on a rainy day.
- Curry laksa (gotta have chicken, prawns, fish cake, fried tofu and lots of bean sprouts)
- Thai green chicken curry (when I make this I like chicken thigh meat, baby corn, potato, peas and zucchini in it)
- My mum’s beef rendang
- Lamb rogan josh
- Chicken biryani
- Butter chicken (is this actually considered a curry?)
- Eggplant curry (any style – I love eggplant)
- Curried egg sandwiches, and recently, my curried leftover chicken sandwiches.
- Oh yes, and a curry tiger pie, topped with mushy pies and gravy, from Harry’s Cafe de Wheels.
I’m sure I could keep going! You may like to get into a warm delicious curry place with my curry posts. :)
What about you guys? What are your favourite curry dishes?

That looks absolutely delish!
I now have a massive craving for curry thanks to your post!
I love curry too! Top on my list is also chicken curry with coconut milk. I like Indian curries with lots of spices and tomato too. I like all kinds of curries actually except Japanese curry.
MUSSAMUM!
Japanese golden curry is one of my favourites! It’s got a sweeter texture, and also it’s quite thick. yum yum:)
I’ve never met a curry I didn’t like. Tonight we are probably having green Thai, but I’m hoping not – noone else really likes it so I hate slurping down delicousness with a bunch of glum faces sitting around the table staring back at me! Maybe there’s enough paste to do a yellow one…
I love butter chicken so so much! Curry laksa. malay-style chicken curry. Thai green curry. Japanese curry. Beef rendang (I duno if this counts as a curry). There’s always a curry for every occasion! :P
I love curries! In general, if it’s a curry, I’ll eat it. But I do have my favourites.
I love Thai green curry with chicken and eggplant, my mum’s home made sayur lodeh with cabbage, carrot, long beans, eggplant, tempeh and tofu puffs, Malaysian style chicken curry with crusty bread for dipping or a mound of hot steamed rice, and Peranakan-style assam fish curry – basically a whole fish cooked in a sourish-spicy assam sauce with pineapple pieces, okra and eggplant. I even eat the okra, which I normally shun!
ooooh the way you have described that kapitan, with the meat off the bones and the potatoes and the green beans – it is my very very very favourite. It is a shame I can no longer eat it. ;oP I have since perfected my kapitan with fake meat, it is almost the same and I loooove it.
Thai Green Curry
Baby Goat Curry (probably Indian)
Assorted other curries.
Mmmm curry! I love Indian curries – especially butter chicken (with a mound of basmati rice to soak up the juices, and I’ll never say no to garlic naan…) Like you, I’m not sure if it’s a real curry but it sure tastes good! :)
Hooray for homemade curry! Your list makes me realize I need to try so many more kinds though. I’m curious for the Malaysian one.
LOVE Thai curries, green being my top favorite. Red and Panang are great if made really well, but I’m still partial to green. Haven’t tried yellow yet.
Just tried Japanese curry the other day and wasn’t a fan of that. No coconut milk may have been the downer for me.
Not to mention I loooooove the heat of Thai curries since heat is my biggest want when it comes to food. Thai food in general, and rice and noodles falling not far behind.
Wild Boar Curry. From a seedy little pub we’ve been going to for years. Got the cook drunk one night, and nicked his recipe. Insert evil laugh.
Karen,
Heheh. Hope you got to feed that craving!
blur ting,
Can you believe I only just tried Japanese curry this week – for the first time ever?! I liked it. It won’t be one of my absolute favourite curries, but I did enjoy it very much and will eat it again for sure. Post coming next week, of course.
Fiona,
I quite like massaman curry too, but haven’t eaten it that often. Maybe because it’s mostly done with beef, and I prefer chicken curries.
Sarah,
see my reply to blur ting above – I tried Japanese curry for the first time ever this week and really liked it. I had it on chicken katsu. Will try it next with fish katsu.
Lisa,
Glum faces around a Thai green curry? Surely not! :) I love green too – Jac prefers red. Since she is not so keen on green curry I usually cook one for myself when she is away.
laundrydays,
Yum, I love all of those! Of course beef rendang is a curry! :-P
dea,
Oh yes, I forgot sayur lodeh – I love that! I am not so keen on eating asam or okra or bony fish curries, even though I like the smell of it. :)
s,
Jac likes to experiment with fake meat products, but I always miss the meat texture, so I don’t think I could truly enjoy a fake meat curry. I’d rather just have an all-vegetable curry, minus fake meat. :)
dab,
Mmmm, I have eaten Italian-style baby goat stew and loved it – haven’t had baby goat in a curry though. I’d love to try it.
Holly,
Pretty sure it’s a curry but not an authentic Indian curry. It would have to be my favourite Indian meat dish – so very tasty. I love garlic naan too – really really garlicky.
Melissa,
I love curries with lots of coconut milk like the Thai green, but I also like curries that are strongly curry, with minimal coconut milk – Jac made a chicken curry this weelk using Keen’s curry powder with only a touch of coconut milk, and it was great! I enjoy heat but not too much. I am a wimp compared to a lot of people.
Dee,
Heheheh, I love an evil laugh.
tfp – a couple of Indian places around town do goat curries… I think The Cinnamon Club in Leederville does. The web tells me that The Royal India in West Perth does also.
curry chicken!
