7 Crave-Worthy Homemade Curry Recipes

Bored with your usual weeknight supper? Bust open that spice cabinet, and get ready make one of these delicious, homemade curry recipes.

(Disclosure: Recipe development clients are listed below, but I was not compensated for this post.)

Back in the day, I was a little intimidated by the thought of cooking up my own homemade curry dishes. The ingredient list can be daunting—spices alone have sent my anxious mind into a tizzy. I calmed down a bit once I realized that “curry” is really just a blanket term for any spicy, Asian-inspired dish. There are no rules and tons of options—my kind of cooking.

Ready to try your own hand at homemade, better-than-takeout curry dishes? I put together seven healthy curry recipes that are simple enough to get you started, and tasty enough to keep you hooked for life. And if you’re still stressing over the spices, set your mind at ease by subbing with a pre-mixed or store bought curry powder. (It makes cooking your own homemade curry truly a breeze!)
