The spice called “curry powder” is not used by the Indians but it is a Western invention which does not reflect any specific food from the Indian subcontinent. 

The Indian spice used for curry is garam masala.   The aromas and flavors are a delight to the senses!

When I decided to make this curry, I did not have any coconut milk at the time, so I substituted it with Greek yoghurt, which turned out really good.

I love a good curry...a kind kind of heat and always packed with flavours. The dish transports exotic places.

Thanks everybody for the lovely comments.

Dee, it's kind of complicated as there are a lot of halva types in Greece. The one closer to the Indian one is that with semolina, which I hope to post soon and try and find some answers to your question.
