Curry is something I grew up eating. One of my favorite meals as a kid was eating my mom's chicken curry with flatbread (roti).
There are many different kinds of curries and even more variations. Coconut curry, egg curry, chicken curry, goat curry, beef curry, lamb curry, fish curry, etc. With fish curry, you can use different kinds of fish. I had a great fish curry on the weekend that used Spanish mackerel.
An uncle makes a chicken curry that is to die for. The gravy is so good I could bottle it and sell it, if I didn't eat it all myself. He uses a different set of spices than my mom.
