I have an ancient can of "Farmers Brothers" curry that is umteeumpt
years old left over from mom's spice collection. It is well sealed in
the metal canister with a metal lid.

I use a bit of it from time to time and the flavor is pleasant, not hot.

Curry is a relative term. I realize that.
It's a spice mix, not a single spice per se', but I used to have a
lovely little plant in my herb garden called "curry", and it did indeed
smell and taste a bit like the herb mix. ;-)

I hope to find another one someday. I need to totally re-vamp my herb
garden.
