Old Fashion Chicken Curry has elements of Indian and Caribbean flavors. The type of curry powder you use is up to you. If you want a more spicy curry I recommend using Madras curry powder or a Jamaican kind vs a regular Indian curry.

Also, I recommend using a minced scotch bonnet pepper or scotch bonnet sauce to add heat to this dish. However, if your not much into spice you can omit the extra spices all together as curry powder tends to have some heat to it. 

Like spice, then add those spices. You can always use red chili powder or cayenne powder instead and that works too and will make it more of an Indian curry also vs Caribbean.
