It might seem a lot of work to make a curry from scratch. While it takes a bit of effort to make elaborate curry recipes, quick recipes are incredibly easy to make. One-pot curries require only one pot to cook the entire curry, hence the name. Curries are best served with basmati rice, brown rice or flatbreads. The best part is that you can make a big batch and store it for up to 1 week in the refrigerator. Here is our list of some curry recipes that taste delicious any time of the year.
