Turmeric powder and curry may sit on the same shelf, but they offer different ways to season a dish: one ingredient on its own or a ready-made blend.

A spice or a combination
Turmeric is offered as a spice; curry as a blend. One lets you adjust that ingredient separately, while the other brings several flavours according to its composition. Sharing a shelf does not make them interchangeable in equal quantities.

Keep a simple dish as your point of reference and note the seasoning used. Look at what is already in the recipe before adding a blend. The curry ingredient list helps identify what you are actually bringing into the dish.
