Indian cooking thread, definitely. I don't even think a curry thread makes sense - better just to have a stew thread. "Curry" is perhaps the least helpful culinary word.

This is a great and generous idea. Non-Indian eaters have some stupid fake image of “curry” that encompasses all Indian food and is vaguely defined as “gross foreign poo poo”.

Yip Yip, bitch.
Yah go and make it. The really spicy food is more an Andhra/Telangana thing, and even they tend to err on the side of painfully spicy for their pickles and leave the rest of the food to be more balanced. The ugly spicy thing is more a British thing, because white dudes like to overdo things to show how “manly” they are. Actual Indians find it unpleasant, because you’ve now lost the rest of the spices that you dropped all this cash on.

Also, considering that there’s everything from Thai to Japanese to English curry, I’d say curry is a totally different mega thread.

I got super tired of seeing your avatar throwing those fuckin' glasses around in the astrology thread so I fixed it to a .jpg
curry means so many things in so many cuisines that it effectively means nothing. they can be dry or wet, served over noodles or rice or with bread, spiced and flavored with many different things, they can even be dramatically different dishes to begin with: compare kare raisu to kua kling, both of which I've seen sold as curries on english menus. you may as well make a sandwich megathread.

indian cuisines are a big enough topic, why add more confusion by bringing "curry" into it?

While you're at it, buy a spice grinder and whole coriander seeds. It's night and day!

Uggggh yeah probably. Already have the seeds. I have a blade grinder I've stopped using for coffee, is that good enough, or are there specific recommendations?

I use a coffee grinder for spice grinding, although it's one that was never used for coffee. Dunno if one that was used for coffee before would have any off flavors.

Gravy and curry and used pretty interchangeably in my house now. What is sauce? Just another kind of gravy, apparently.

That works for me. You can run some rice through the blade grinder to help clean the coffee out of the crevasses.

Fill it with rice and grind it up. Do this a couple of times and it should remove any traces of coffee.

Okay I stayed up late and made a new thread. No more silly "all Indian food is spicy curry" thread title! So, please go post in that thread instead.
