Hi,

The curry powder doesn't really matter IMO, I use Rajah myself.  As for fresh chili I usualy dice it fine and add it at the begining of the curry cooking process just before adding galrlic and ginger puree.  I wouldn't add fresh chili to the base as this will then restrict you to only hot currys.
