Tell us which country’s curry powder and we can narrow it down

They are really different.
Japanese, Jamaican, Indian, Thai. And within those there are different combinations.

No. Just no. An Indian person needs to get on here and make a suggestion asap!

Not for this. Curry Powder is a British bastardization and is not the same as Garam Masala.

I’m guessing you don’t get to the Indian grocery store much. They sell a plethora of different brands of “curry powder” and a nearly equal number of products labeled “garam masala,” not to mention all the other proprietary seasoning “powders.”

The point is that "curry powder" is not an Indian ingredient so who cares what they have at an Indian grocery store. If you want the most authentic curry powder look in the British foods section next to the HP Sauce.

That assertion seems to make sense, but when you’re trying to recapture an older cooking experience, elevating the ingredients changes the taste, so you don’t get what you’re looking for. I found this out from some of my mother’s recipes. When I made them with upgraded/imported/high end ingredients, they were delicious, but they weren’t hers. When I used the budget grocery store products she used it was like she made them herself.

I like Morton & Bassett.

Where do you live? The Mediterranean Bakery on south pickett has some really good spice blends including curries

I used to make my own mix but have only used this since I discovered it. Cannot beat convenience!

My mom’s curry powder. The rest all really taste the same.

They all taste the same.

I'm planning to try some throwback recipes that call for curry powder, and I don't think I've bought any in decades.

If you use it, which one do you buy? Or do they all taste pretty much the same -- that is, like you've been transported to the 70s?
