I think I must be feeling particularly bitter and twisted today, so I apologise in advance if the following causes offence, but I do seriously question the need for any member of CR0 to go out of his way to acquire "a curry spoon". I cook all of my curries using the utensils that I use for everything else : wooden spatulae, non-stick spoon, non-stick slotted spoon, non-stick (fish) slice, non-stick ladle, and so on, and a non-stick frying pan cum wok, from Macro. As far as I can tell, the curries are just fine : certainly as good as from the Taj of Kent, and considerably better than those from the other nearby BIR, which had better remain nameless. So am I really producing inferior results to those who have 8,5Kw crematoria, long-handled curry spoons containing anywhere between 2 & 4 1/2 tablespoons, and so on ? Or do we sometimes fool ourselves into believing that the tool makes the man (e.g., if I buy a Bosch Professional power drill, will I be a better carpenter than if I buy one costing 1/5th as much from Lidl ?). Serious question, and definitely not intended to offend my good friend SP.
