  We are cooking a lot with curry at home now days. I really like the smell and taste. There is a cafe behind the Dept of State in DC that serves up chicken and rice dishes with red or green curry. Very yummy.

    That sounds like a Thai curry, which are generally a lot milder. Thai curries are also water based rather than using the traditional oil based cooking, so are probably a lot healthier too.

I like to opt for the "thai" but only if I'm feeling adventurous because it sure is hellishly hot.

In the States at least, you can sometimes find "South Indian" restaurants that are pretty good. And which typically serve hot foo

    Actually if you have a traditional meal, you'll find that there are complete mixture of food. They often mix hot and sweet food together so as not to burn the mouth.

    However, in the UK too many think you guage a curry by how much chili powder you can stand.
