  Best i do not know, but as a curry lover myself..i often go malay/indian resturant eat & steal see what they use.. its Baba brand, many of those 煮炒stalls also using it..

  But got i time i go "pig leg market" eat lunch at hawker cte...the indian stall some chicken curry super power, i ask where he buy> he pointed to a shop & say its those mix & match type..

  It still bepends on how the person cook it..with what spices etc..
  *Because when i buy home, i try, taste 100% different..lolol

  its because your method of cooking is wrong. U have to do these in order:

  fry the fennel, cumin , cinnamon ,bay leaves, cloves and anise in oil till golden brown

  add in onions, potatoes and tomato, fry till the onions are white

  add in ccrushed ginger and garlic paste, coriander leaves

  add in the curry powder to the paste and stir

  then add in meat

  stir

  add in water and salt

  cook for 1 hour ( depend on the heat and wok, or if are using pressure cooker)

  same for  ready pack curry paste. u add in instead of curry powder. The smell is due to the coriander and tomatoes cooking in the juice of meat.

  i think yr steps are wrong.

  Kaimar, now I am using "Earthen Pot" <<Fish Curry Powder>> (Ingredients: Coriander, Dry Chilli, Salt, Fennel Seed, Dhall, Turmeric, Rice, Cumin, Pepper) and "Rasaku" <<Assam Fish Mix>> (Ingredients: Sugar, Chilli, Salt, Tomato, Tamarind, Corn Starch, Turmeric, Ginger) at home

  Have you happened to try it before? If you did, how is your liking towards them?

  Thanks again

    Thank you Kaimar.  Me find their taste is not bad too.  I just find Rasaku Assam Fish Mix a little bit more salty than Earthen Pot Fish Curry Powder that's all

  and yeah, after reading the above cooking procedures, may I ask if it's ok incorporate Lemongrass ?

  thanks!

  I prefer Bhahim's chicken curry sauce, cos it is not so spicy and easy to cook. Just mix the sauce with chicken and patotoes bring it to boil and strew it for half an hour that's all!
