Answers:
It's probably a variation of a masala (as in chicken masala)!.
You need to make a basic curry gravy; boil tomatoes and onions and a couple of cloves of garlic for about 10 mins, then blitz with a stick blender!. Add the following:
1 tbsp ground coriander
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp minced ginger (or dried ginger is fine)
1 tsp garam masala
Mix well and simmer for 20 mins!.
That's your basic curry masala gravy!.
Chances are if it's mild it had either yoghurt or coconut milk in, coconut milk is nicer, if it was sweetish then it's coconut, if it's not then it's probably yoghurt!. !.
also it probably has some chopped coriander leaf in - that adds a nice flavour
Other than that, you can add curry powder (1 tsp), but from there you'd need to experiment with spices
A good cheat is to get some Patak's mild curry paste (or quick curry paste)!. That adds a really nice mild flavour to most curries!. most restaurants would do that, unless it's a really good one they haven't time to mess around adding spices and things and letting them cook properly!.
If you are adventurous, add some tarka - a mix of mustard seeds and brown lentils and spices and onion, fried in oil for a few minutes - they add lots of subtle flavour!.
Have a look at mamtaskitchen!.com, you can search on ingredients and there's loads of good recipes, there's also a forum where you can ask about recipes!.
One key thing to remember about making a curry like you'd get in a restaurant; they probably use a lot more salt than you would think is good for you!. It's fine if it's only an occasional thing, so don't be afraid to taste it and keep adding salt until it's tasty!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I know this is not the recipe you are looking for, but when I was in the Cook Islands, Paw Paw Salad (Papaya) was at every pot luck during the holidays!. It was so simple and delicious!. It was just chucks of fresh papaya mixed with mayonnaise (and it had to be Best Foods!), fresh squeezed lemon juice, mild curry powder (green), and salt and pepper to taste!. I have never seen a printed recipe, but the mayonnaise just coated the papaya and the rest I would just mix to taste and make sure it is thoroughly chilled before serving!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
