I need to clarify. I was a little short on my spicy/mild distinction.
Spicy curry is AWESOME, but it's still at it's base spicy food. It's not as distinct from, spicy Thai, Mexican, Creole, Jamaican, Korean, etc., as mild Indian food is from all other cuisines.
Spicy is spicy, by and large.
I advise to start with mild Indian, not because I don't like spicy. I love it. But the mild stuff shows you how distinctive Indian cuisine can be.
