The sentence is redundant. All you need to really say is "I cooked curry by myself."

'I cooked myself a curry on my own' or, 'I cooked and ate curry by myself' is how I would put it, and I have a first class degree in English (whatever that means).
I would disagree with the person above - saying that you cooked curry by yourself does not make it clear that you were cooking only for yourself - you could cook curry by yourself and then eat it with other people.

No, the sentence isn't redundant.
"I cooked curry by myself" means that you were the only person who cooked.
"I cooked curry for myself" means that the curry was going to be eaten by you.
Therefore, "I cooked curry by myself, and cooked it for myself" means you were the only person who was cooking and eating.

A unfavorable localised melancholy. The epitome of customized unfavorable ions. A toxins on social interaction. a depressing cloud on the horizon of your sunny day. A undertaking to positivity. An empty e book. A genetic non-guy or female. with any success one step from extinction. information that even motherly love will be blind. or you'll probably say,"you're an offence to civilised interaction,please reapply to connect the human race".Get creative on your wondering about this guy or female,see what buttons to push,a witty positioned down receives a chortle from others and positioned him off stability ,save him that way and continually confirm you've some pithy keep on with up comments saved.

"I cooked curry for myself."
It tells that only one person cooked and for whom. The only way it could be more succinct or shorter is to say:
"I cooked myself a curry."
