@freya here's a slimmed down version of a flexible, non-"authentic" veggie curry I make in the fall & winter:
- sautée onions, garlic, & curry spices in butter (or ghee or oil) until fragrant
- add stock & bring to simmer
- add lentils & chick peas and cook until half done
- add chopped potatoes & carrots and cook until everything is done
- optionally serve with rice / naan, top with plain yogurt & cilantro

spices: I often start with garam masala or curry powder & tweak (cumin , turmeric, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, coriander, cardamom, chili, pepper)
if using dry lentils / chick peas, rinse & soak for a few hours first.
quantities: I usually eyeball. For a 2-person meal with ~lunch-sized leftovers, it's pretty much 1 of everything (1 onion, garlic to taste, 1 can lentils, 1 can chickpeas, 1 large potato, 1 jumbo carrot, 1 tetrapak stock). 50% more spices than I think I need.
