I also am a big fan of chicken makhani, chana bhuna which is chick peas, saag paneer which is cheese and spinach and to start i do like a prawn puri, which is a spicy prawn dish on a fried puffy bread.  I find the easiest curry to make is a Thai curry, but they are a bit of an aquired taste.

Peshwari, depending on your takeaway can include coconut (sweetned), almonds, sultanas and occasionally other dried fruit. It is my favourite naan as it is a nice compliment to a spicey product.

I love curries but prefer to make my own than get a takeaway. A favourite curry of mine to make is red bean curry. I do buy lots of veg samosas though, but I buy them from the supermarket rather than at a takeaway.

Do you grind your own spices Cherry? I use a curry paste - Pataks do a good one. A couple of spoonfuls gives a good blend.
Who needs karma when you know you're great already?

I cheat and use a jar of Uncle Bens or Sharwoods curry.

Mostly I cheat and use Sharwoods cooking saucses (has a Saag Masala tonight) but sometimes I will make one from scratch using pre-mixed spices.

My cooking is atrocious so I'm better to go out for a curry than try cooking as I am always disappointed and end up giving it to the dog.

It's completely the other way around for me Lou, I am usually disappointed with takeaways!
