How is Indian Curry Powder used in Thai cooking?

Indian curry powder is one of the clearest signs of how Thai cooking borrows and makes things its own. Adopted from Indian spice traditions, it lends colour and a warm, earthy flavour to dishes like Panang curry and khao soi rather than defining them. It's a ready-ground blend, used in smaller, supporting amounts here than in Indian cooking. Think of it as a guest spice that Thai cooks folded in long ago - proof that this cuisine has always been a crossroads of influences.
