There is no set proportion ratio since "curry" isn't one specific dish.
These are just some of the more common (and readily available) spices I use.
I cook *a lot* of Indian food, and I always grind my spices fresh for it. I
also make my own "curry powder" blends for use in other recipes. Some are
heavy on cumin, others are more turmeric based, some are hot, some are not.
Sorry, that doesn't really help you!
