if you are advocating for canned foods and microwave,how can i help you? if you tried this with your curry then you got what you asked for.
cooking is an art,anybody can learn it. take your time,be patient,go with your instincts,don't strictly adhere to a recipe,be creative,let cooking be part of your meal experience,have friends over,share a bottle of wine and laughs as you cook... it will enrich your social interactions immensely. it is cheaper than going out and it is a lot of fun too.
