Hi all, this site is huge so I'm not sure what i have to say is of any use as you may have covered it many times in the past, however if i don't add my views then ill never get anywhere so ill post,
this will let you know what i know and please put me right if I'm wrong, as i am more that likely wrong lol

Things iv learned (talking to chiefs/reading on the net etc)

Home curry tastes better if you freeze it the longer the better( allows the ingredients to fuse together)
fresh spices are very important restaurants use fresh every day.
water or lemon/lime/yogurt cools down a curry if its to hot
always wash hands after use of chillies, burn your eyes if you touch your eyes straight away( yea i learned the hard way)
salt plays a big part in curry ( something to do with our taste buds need the salt to bring out the best in the spices)
tare bay leaves (so oil from the leave enters the curry)
Ghee can take the hot temps better than normal oil
