what's missing in my curry?
44 Answers
i fried my onions until they were really brown, seared the stewing steak, dry fried the curry powder, cumin, coriander and chilli, and bunged it in the slow cooker for 6 hours with some beef stock and a tin of chopped tomatoes and salt and pepper.
Don't get me wrong, it's quite nice, and lovely and tender, but there's something missing. What could i add to it now?
It seems to be missing a richness. Maybe coocnut cream? (Although I have put that with a beef curry.)

do you know tanbourine, that's so funny. I was watching a 5min cooking thing on some sat channel late last night. It was an asian guy who said that every dish, whether sweet or savoury can be improved by some acidity. lemon, lime, vinegar etc. I was thinking maybe a bit of lemon, but maybe vinegar is the way to go. As for your smash idea - wow I would never had thought of that!
