The local Thai place makes a massaman curry that she really likes. I've tried making a couple of mild yellow Indian curries from a paste with coconut milk but haven't quite got the flavor down yet. The last one had chicken with carrots, sweet potato cubes, onion, and celery (all over rice).
Vash - I have a friend who brings out a Japanese beef curry on camping trips - super yummy.

Your wife sounds a lot like mine! I love curries and cook them all. My fave are the vinegar based/hot ones that just don't wash with the wife & kids. More exotic the better in my book, but I am the main cook at home so have to 'simplify' to get food in tummies. Drives me crazy. Sounds like a nice mild yellow Thai curry, or massaman should fit the bill. :
-Get a shop sauce and use about half what it says on the jar (otherwise it will be "Too Strong")
-sneek a bit of fish sauce in just because
-Use a very good quality coconut milk, not cream
-These sorts normally like potato in curries for some reason, but it takes ages to cook in the sauce , so pre-boil and add later.
-Add whatever vegies. Colour is great, thinly sliced then poach
-Same with the chicken. Use breast, cut it thin and poach it for less time than you think at the end.
-Use palm sugar (tastes amazing) and sweeten the cr@p out of it. She will love you.
