Growing up, curry powder was a horrid spice that came in those little
cans. Now that I'm mature, world wise and sophisticated, I still don't
like any commercial curry.

Translated, curry is a blend of spices. Some I like, others not so
much. The recipe you suggest is pretty good,, but for my personal
taste, I'd omit the clove.

At a restaurant I still avoide anything that suggests it is "curry" but
at home we will mix our own blend, much like yours.
