I was also raised on curry. Super spicy south Indian vegetarian curries, mainly. My favourites are eggplant (^^^^^), okra, peas, and plain old yellow dal (well and also some vegetables for which I don't know the english names). Since we're south Indians, I generally eat with rice, but chapatis and naan are also yummy.
I've been eating thai curries since I was 15 or so. Big fan.
PS. I'm pretty sure I've seen golden raisins in some Indian curries... .
