Why buy curry paste? Go to a keling curry spice merchant, they sell freshly made curry powder. They know exactly what curry blend is needed for various kinds of curries.

Chicken farming is an industrialised and efficient process. Chickens grow quickly, and large-scale poultry operations produce vast quantities of meat at a low cost per unit of weight. On the other hand, many spices like saffron or vanilla are labour-intensive to harvest and process. Even common spices like cardamom or nutmeg require careful drying and preparation. This manual labour drives up their cost.

This one is at Tampines, but most wet markets have at least one stall.

Little India: walk along Kampong Kapor Rd and there should be a few Indian grocery stores on the side.
