Things vary for me, mrzzy.

It varies.

At one rare end I might try to follow a recipe.

At the other and often used for a meal with Quorn fillets, I’m using a jar of a Korma sauce mixed with chopped tomato and onion.

Something like my root veg curry things are a bit random but would at least start with frying onion, adding cumin, coriander and a mild chilli powder. Maybe some root ginger, maybe turmeric… it’s just how it goes at the time. No expertise and they differ but they all seem to come out OK, and better if they are made a day in advance.
