"Dear Alton Brown,

This curry recipe was a very poor attempt at Indian cuisine. It seems quite ridiculous to advocate for fresh spices to improve flavor and not fresh vegetables (they will definitely make your food taste better). And onion powder instead of an onion---Why? A simple vegetable curry could easily be much improved by taking 10 minutes to chop up some vegetables and let your curry simmer a little before serving so that the flavors can be absorbed a bit!
