I have used curry powder as you have - it's a pretty good idea. My wife and I used to eat Hawaiian style curry from a lunch wagon when we were going to school in the mid-seventies. We'd share a plate of it under a tree. It was a wonderful time of our lives.

The lunchwagon was named "Grace's Lunchwagon." The owners named it after their little daughter. They opened up a restaurant next door to where I work. I usually see their daughter working there. The curry still looks the same but the taste is a disappointment. The cook is using about twice the amount of curry powder than would be appropriate. I have no explanation for this.. That's the breaks.
