Would love some tips. 
Hi everyone!
This is my first post on this website, although I have been a 'lurker' for years! Several times I have wanted to post, but changed my mind, which is probably for the best as I was just wanting to tell someone off who was being a pompous ass, or was being mean to someone for no good reason!

I am a real chow-hound, so it makes sense that my first posting would be in the food section!

I eat Asian food several times a week and was taught to cook it by various Pakistani and Bangladeshi friends/significant others, so I have got pretty good at it over the years.

Bearing in mind that I cook in a Pakistani style, here are my top tips for cooking curries:
Use real proper ghee, rather than oil.
Lots of onions! For example a 4-serving curry should have around 1.25 pounds of onions in it! They cook in the ghee for a long time - 30 minutes or so, until they are basically a mush/puree.
Chillies: Don't just chop them up and chuck them in. I make a puree out of green chillies and a few spoonfuls of water, and stir that in toward the end of the cooking time.
And finally, don't rush! A good meat curry should take around 2 hours to cook, in my experience.
Hope these tips help!
