Penzey's has (or had) a nice sweet curry powder. I am confused
because the small container and the large container listed
different ingredients. I need to go back and compare. It might
be because I got the larger container later. I hope not, because
the other ingredients produced a nicer blend, IMHO. I don't like
their "Maharajah" type curry powder. It tastes musty to me.

Now back to the OP... Yes, I have problems with THAI recipes that
call for curry powder. Recipes for the pastes abound, but I am
never sure what type of curry powder would be appropriate.
