Yes, this is it. The curry that anyone can make simply by mixing cumin, coriander and tumeric with some vegetables, or, with a tin of Patak's curry sauce mix. I've grouped all curries that don't mention a particular style or region in here – the 'curried mushrooms', the 'aloo gobi'. Some are quite traditional, and some more modern - you can normally judge from the ingredients and style of writing.
