I tend to make variations of the BBC Good food chicken biryani recipe. Though make up my own curry paste with tomatoe puree and a random selection of herbs/spices (veering towards the mild for the family). Usually make a "cheats black daal" to go with it
The BBC Good Food website has some really great curry recipes.
I really dig the Beef Madras, where the paste is done with a mix of black pepper, chilli and ginger, so you get a much more complex "heat" that you would from chilli alone. I do tone it down a bit though, as I'm not a fan of blowing my head off.
A can of chick peas thrown in alongside the beef is lovely too - that's actually my preference as opposed to beef on its own.
