Curry covers a wide range of spice mixtures, an varies according to the
region and the type of food it is being used for; fish, chicken, beef,
pork, vegetables or fruit. There is a generic sort of curry powder
available in most grocery store spice shelves. You could go to the local
Asian grocery store in your area you could probably get a particular curry
mix more suitable for that dish.
