[becksmummy]

HI, I am in the middle of cooking a chick pea curry following a recipe I got off mn but I have just tasted it while its simmering and its very bland not much like a curry at all but dont know what to add?

Please help!!!!

curry owder and salt?

i add this chicken curry powder mix i got from tesco. yummy. and lemone juice at the very end.

lots of spice.
And cinnamon and nutmeg.

Failing that chuck some HP in.

lemon juice
sour cream or yoghurt
turmeric, ginger, coriander
salt and a tiny bit of sugar

I dont have any curry powder I have used individual spices so dont know if to add a bit more of them all or just more of one specific spice??

cayenne pepper

add a bit of everythng and it will be curry powder.

wow quick responses thats great thanks will go and add now!!!

dry fry some slightly bashed cumin seeds if you have them, a bit more garlic, and some more of whatever curry spices you are using. make sure you cook them first and then add them to the curry. may burn easily but be careful.

coriander - that's brilliant for emergencies!

Powdered cumin and/or Garam Marsala

HP??????

cumin, coriander and chilli seems to help.
