    If it's heat you're after, I would be going with fresh ginger and garlic over the powered type.

    I would recommend using fresh ingredients where possible. Fresh Garlic, Ginger, Chopped Tomatoes and Chillis, rather than the powders and puree.

    Would use fresh garlic and ginger as others said. Also fresh chillies are better than powder. If you are near an Asian store buy a bag of birds eye chillis, they are tiny but pack very good heat. They need to be deseeded unless you can tolerate high heats but with the seeds out there is a lovely kick to them without burning the mouth off yourself. Wash your hands well after chopping them. I always keep a bag of them in the freezer and then take out 8 of them out (for 2 meals) to defrost about 30 minutes before cooking a curry or stir fry.

    With the coconut milk be sure to buy the full fat version for a rich decadent curry, the low fat stuff can be watery.

    Also cumin seeds bashed up in a pestle and mortar will add heat as well. If not then cumin powder is fine.
