Indian recipe be like: cumin powder, coriander powder, garlic powder, and curry powder(which is a mixed of 15 different spices)
You forgot mustard seeds, chili pepper, and garam masala (which is a blend of multiple different spices).
Oh and there's no definite recipe for garam masala. It changes from region to region and possibly from one family to other.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garam_masala
Garam Masala is “home spice” and round these parts we call ours “old bay”
The old bay is where I storee the bodies. They won't know where that is do I am more than happy to retell the ramigrades of my life
Do Indian or Pakistani folks actually have something called "curry powder" in their kitchens?
My understanding is no, they have a leaf called kari (pronounced similar to curry). If you say curry to an Indian born person, they typically think of the leaf, not a spice mix. Common spice mixes are garam masala, chaat masala, tikka, tandoori seasoning, etc. Source: married to an Indian and sometimes pay attention. India is a big place with thousands of cultures so YMMV.
And you can't make curry powder from the leaf. Curry tree leaf is fried fresh in oil and removed, to add an aromatic flavor. Regional to South Indian dishes
The leaf makes sense. The closest thing to "curry powder" I make in my kitchen is garam masala.
