I tend t go for fairly clean crisp beers a citra pale ale, or horror of horror on casino a larger can be quite pleasant with curry. Most recently however I have found NEIPA’s (despite not fitting the clean crisp criteria) go really well with curry.
 
Here you go:

4.5kg Pale Malt
15g Admiral @ 60
25g Saaz @ 5
1 teaspoon coriander seeds @ 5
3 green cardamoms @ 5
25g Saaz @ 80 degrees for around 10-15 minutes
1 pack of Danstar Saison yeast

OG 1.052
FG 1.00

ABV 7%
IBU 26

I'd bathe in that.
 
I'd have thought so, given how fragrant cardamom is. I'd imagine a delicate hand is required when using it in beer.

Yes it does come through really well. I didn’t want it to be too overwhelming and three was about right for me.
 
Great! I don’t have temp control but made this towards the end of July so it was pretty warm to get the best out of the yeast.
 
One of my neighbours comes round for a 4-pint carry out of my Summer Breeze Ale when he has a curry. It’s an IPA strongly hopped with Citra and Galaxy.

What beer/hops do you prefer with a curry and what curry do you have it with?

I'm with your neighbour. I like highly hopped beer with curry.
