Has anyone thought of using "Chinese" 5 spice on an "Indian" curry?

It sounded kinda unorthodox but i remembered Indian curry can contain star anis, cloves, black peppers, fennel seeds and cinamon. But that is all what Chinese 5 spice is made of. I made Indian curry last night and i was just kinda lazy to get all those spices so i did use 5 spice instead. So i just used generous amount of curry powder and garam masala then a pinch of five spice. I wasn't really surprised that it worked just fine but i just think it sounded weird lol. But i'm not saying it is traditional.

I've never tried it on Indian curry but I tend to experiment a lot with the spices for something that resembles "chili".

So I've tried the Chinese 5-spice mix there along with garam masala, turmeric, cumin, paprika, cilantro, szechuan, black pepper, cayenne, paprika, fenugreek, etc (not all at the same time).

I tend to have no consistency whatsoever with my chili as a result. :-D It tends to veer into tastes from different cultures depending on my mood.

I constantly use Curry powder for my rice and Chinese 5 spice to make deep fried batter a little sweeter plus some salt and cayenne
