You might like a Thai green curry which is lots of fresh coriander (cilantro?), lime, green chillies and coconut milk. That's not necessarily hot and if you make your own (it's very simple to make) you can vary the amount of chilli you put in.
I believe an Indian korma is very mild and based in cream.
Byrianis are nice - they have most of the veg, (or meat I presume) in with the rice and the moderately spicy curry sauce separate, so you can just drizzle a little, or swamp it, whatever you like.
I think you just need to find out about them. In Indian restaurants/take-aways they're usually more than happy to describe the dishes with great enthusiasm and reverence, and quite rightly, too.
i really like thai (veg) green curry both take-out and making it at home. at home i use the thai kitchen green paste. serve with jasmine rice.
for indian food, my favourite is mattar paneer (veg/peas with masala sauce).
again at home, i just use a commercial masala sauce. it goes great with just about any veg stirfry as well but i like spinach and paneer. serve with basmati rice.
some of my friends that aren't that big on curry enjoy butter chicken. medium hot. but if you're just trying for first time, maybe try the mild...and if you like it a bit rich...add some cashew butter while making it.
