Best curry recipes
Aloo chana
Ready in under an hour and packed with chickpeas, aloo chana should be your next veggie midweek meal go-to. This curry also makes a brilliant addition to an Indian-style feast, featuring samosas, bhajis and all the trimmings.
Beef rendang
This traditional Indonesian curry has plenty of flavour and packs a punch with spice, too. Serve with sticky jasmine rice and pak choi for a real treat.
Chicken katsu curry
While we love a home-breadcrumbed chicken breast, you can use ready-made breaded chicken to make this katsu recipe even more time-friendly.
Sag aloo
Why relegate sag aloo to the side of your Indian-inspired dinner? It makes the most delicious one-pan meal and tastes great as leftovers for lunch the next day.
Lamb kahari
This sumptuous curry is well worth the time and effort it takes to make it. It's fragrant, spicy and delicious on a bed of fluffy basmati rice.
Lamb shami kebabs
While these delicious snacks aren't strictly a curry, they definitely have a place in our Indian recipe repertoire. They're silky smooth and best served with mango chutney and raita.
Tarka daal
This daal is a vegetarian classic that everyone will love. Tempering the spices and aromatics in oil before stirring the 'tarka' through the daal makes this recipe extra special and bursting with flavour.
Beef massaman curry
This rich and fragrant beef massaman curry is one of our all-time favourite Thai recipes. The combination of coconut milk, beef, tamarind and plenty of peanuts is incredibly moreish and sure to impress whoever you've got over for supper.
Sweet potato and chickpea curry
Our sweet potato and chickpea curry is the best store cupboard dinner. It uses spices and tinned ingredients you're likely to already have at home, alongside roasted sweet potato, fresh spinach and chopped almonds.
Lamb keema
Using lamb mince in this easy lamb keema recipe keeps things super quick and easy for busy weeknights. Garnish with lots of fresh coriander and serve with basmati rice or garlicky naan.
Paneer tikka
Although these beautifully spiced kebabs aren't technically a curry, we can't resist the charred chunks of paneer alongside a bowl of fragrant pilau rice.
Thai red curry
There's nothing like an aromatic, spicy Thai red curry to put you in a good mood on a rainy Wednesday, and our ultimate recipe makes creating this Southeast Asian classic easy.
Lamb passanda
Our slow-cooked lamb passanda is the perfect weekend treat, and could even make a sumptuous dinner party dish with the right sides.
Curry goat
A Jamaican classic, curry goat is packed with spicy, savoury flavours. Served with traditional rice and peas and plantain, it's a no-brainer for weekend cooking.
Chana chaat
Tangy, sweet and spicy, chana chaat is the best way to start any Indian-inspired meal. Our tip? Drizzle over extra tamarind if you love sour flavours.
Chicken and banana korma
Who said chicken korma was boring? Our creamy, delicious chicken korma uses banana in the sauce to add this curry's classic sweetness without adding lots of sugar.
Lamb rogan josh
The trick to making your best-ever rogan josh is patience. By simmering the lamb for an hour, you'll achieve a beautiful tender texture and gorgeous marriage of spices.
Chicken roti
Originating from Trinidad, chicken roti combines sweet spices like nutmeg and cinnamon with fiery chillies to create a curry well worth waiting for.
Wagamama's katsu curry
If you're a fan of Wagamama's classic katsu curry, then you're in luck. They've published their secret recipe, and it's far easier than you'd expect.
Venison curry
If you've never cooked with venison before, this warming one-pot curry is a great place to start. It's simmered for over an hour, resulting in pull-apart meat and serious depth of flavour from the spices.
Salmon in green sindhi sauce
Salmon curry is about to become your new favourite fish dish, because the green sauce in this recipe is to-die-for.
Paneer and pumpkin curry
When delica pumpkin is in season, there's no better way to enjoy it than chopped into wedges, roasted and served with a creamy paneer and coconut curry.
