I first got into curry from a little teryaki joint down the street. When I looked into how to make it myself, I found out there were a bunch of different types. It's like ceviche. There's no single "real" recipe. It's different everywhere.
----------- Yep, tons of places have their own variations - India, Paki, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, etc. And in each country/region they have multiple types of curry mixes. I read somwewhere that you can still go to shops that will mix a curry powder to your specs. Sort of like an old winemonger.
