Thai or Indian? Don't fall into the oppressive Western mode of thinking
that there is only one type of curry. I have made a few Indian and
Thai curries, and none of them ever smelled like the curry powder
I grew up with. In fact, that curry powder is the reason I rarely
ate curries till I could cook (and think) for myself. I think they
put too much fenugreek into the curry powder commonly used in
Australia, and I never yet found a curry recipe that called for
fenugreek.
