Does Garam Masala count as curry powder?

Well, it's a blend of spices used in curry, what definition of curry powder were you looking for?

one that just says curry powder on the label. they're all the same ingredients.

Dunno.
I think of garam masala as a general purpose Indian seasoning, whereas curry powders are a failed attempt to replicate particular styles of dish.

Or what MEATSNAKE said.

Meh.
It's always better to grind spices as and when they're needed, anyway.

don't be stupid, just buy it an a resealable pot, it's exactly the same. it's what the indians do.

You can't make me.
I use a coffee grinder for my spices but, as I mentioned further down the thread, I rarely bother to make the effort for a curry, so tend to use those jars of spice paste. Always grind fresh when I'm making a chilli, though.

It's an absence of opportunity/motivation,
not a lack of ability, thank you very much.
