Re: Curry Recipe? You got one?
Curry powder is yellow and is found in the spice aisle - where you would find cinnamon, basil, etc. It's a western commercial approximation of Indian flavors - ginger, coriander, turmeric, cumin. True Indian curries vary dramatically by region, and individual cooks make up their own spice blends. Curry powder as we know it doesn't really exist in India. (There's also a curry tree; you can sometimes find leaves in the produce department of the grocery store. Definitely in Asian markets.)
Curry paste is Thai, southeast Asian, Oceanic. (I can usually find Thai Kitchen brand in my local grocery stores.) It's mainly chile peppers, lemongrass, ginger/galangal, kaffir lime.
