Oooh, haven't been able to get Vencat for ages, where have you been getting it from? I tried lots of others when the Vencat stopped being available but didn't rate any of them so I have resorted to making my own mix up. Pretty sure I saw Empire in Cambridge Countdown earlier this morning.

Empire Madras if you can get it, wasn't any last week in Countdown here so got the Hot one instead but yes either that or Vencat are my favourites.

There is a shop in Thames that only sells curry powders, seed like black mustard and mustards - its awesome and will deliver I would imagine. Should be able to find it online.

I don't use curry powder at all - always use paste, much nicer flavour

Usually Pataks but depends what sort of curry I'm making - Indian, Thai, etc. i do have curry powder in my pantry but only really use it to colour rice as easier in the rice cooker.

I buy just any mild curry powder (so that I can hot it up if need be) and have just bought a big bag from Davis Trading as I use a fair bit of it. Normally I prefer to use grind my own spices with my pestle and mortar but if a recipe just calls for curry powder this is what I use. Simon Holst has a fab recipe using I think about 11 different spices that I mostly grind myself so it's a bit tiring on the old arms.

Different dishes require different flavours - currently in my fridge I have tandoori paste, masala paste, green curry paste, red curry paste and korma paste as well as sambal oelek if I want to increase the heat in any of them

It's a fairly mild madras barry68. None of my curries ever taste the same and depending on the taste I want I will either use more onion, garlic, ginger or whatever before I add the curry powder, which also is always slightly different each time I mix it as nothing is ever properly measured. I used two or three different but v similar recipes as my base, one of which is this one http://www.food.com/recipe/madras-curry-powder-174350

There are so many recipes on the net. Some are way over the top I have to say.
