What is “red” curry powder?

Red curry powder is simply the curry powder I make and use at home. It has some red kashmiri chillies ground in it, that gives the red color.
You can add 1 red kashmiri chilli powder for the color and taste.

Is red curry powder and red chilli powder one and the same ingredient? Also when does one add the yogurt/nut paste to the mutton?
Is the lamb marinated in any mix?
Thanks for an early reply

Hi Grace,
Red Curry Powder is different from the Red Chilli Powder. Curry powder is a blend of spices which includes red chilli powder. You can substitute Paparika for the red chilli powder.
Add the yogurt and nut paste after adding the dry spices, add the yogurt and nut paste and saute 10 more minutes. Add oil if needed. Thanks, I have corrected step 6.
Yes the lamb is marinated in these:
10 tsp. Ginger Garlic paste
1 tsp turmeric powder
3 tsp salt
Hope you make it, a little spice difference will be fine.
