I'm highly skeptical of the authenticity of curry recipes that include
'curry powder'. At least without a link for a recipe for same. 'curry
paste' receives similar skepticism.

I've been known to make a vindaloo or curry from scratch, and 'curry
powder' isn't really an ingredient. I do however have a large selection of
whole spices and a coffee grinder that's never seen a coffee bean.

Just sayin.
