One thing...without being too politically correct"Curry" is a concept invented by the Brits - when they finished their tour of duty in the Raj, they wanted to be able to "take the taste home" so asked the locals to come up with curry powder.
The majority of "Indian" food in the UK is cooked by Bangladeshis. India's a fucking huge country, there are lots of dishes cooked there that you'll never see in an "Indian" in the UK. Here is a good example of actual "Indian" food (it's in Birmingham, massively recommended).
As many have said, the pastes available in supermarkets are a good starting point - chop and fry your onions, add the paste, then whatever other ingredients you want to use. If you want to take it one step further, start roasting the spices first, then add oil / onions / other ingredients.
Remember freezing a curry will tend to make it hotter.
