Recipe help?

I have this dish I make. (No, [livejournal.com profile] kightp, this isn't the famous "Tuna Salad With Shredded 'Angel Hair' Cabbage" that really needs a more descriptive name, so people aren't surprised when they eat it and find out what it's really like.)

I take some oil - olive oil, or maybe clarified butter - and saute some onion. Then I throw some kale in the pan, then once it starts to wilt, I add lentils and then water, and boil it until most of the water is gone, then add garlic and let it cook, then add coconut milk, and curry powder.

And that last step, that's the problem. "Curry powder" means "we put these together, and called them curry powder." Can anyone help me figure out a good starting point for separate spices that make up curry powder in approximate ratios?

Nod. It's actually shredded angle hair cabbage, which shows you that when angels get really angry, their hair sticks out in very interesting patterns relative to a tangent line.
