Explanations

• Phrases 1 and 2 are saying quite strongly that speaker really likes Indian food. Phrase 2 is a bit stronger than phrase 1.
• Phrase 3 is a bit more formal and more restrained than phrases 1 and 2.
• In phrase 4, we can make the basic expression 'into it' stronger by adding 'really' and much stronger with 'in a big way'. It is a very informal expression.
• Phrases 5, 6 and 8 are saying that the speaker thinks something is best and that nothing else is better.
• Phrase 7 is quite strong but a more formal expression that can be used in writing and in polite company.
• Phrase 9 is almost certainly an exaggeration. It is saying that Thai food is the most (only) important thing in the speaker's life.
• Phrase 10 is very informal and again quite exaggerated. The speaker is saying that the speaker would anything (or everything they have) for a Thai curry.
