When I cook a curry from scratch no matter how much spices (powered) I add to the curry the flavours never seem to come through, so I guess I am doing something wrong but not sure what.
Firstly I fry onions, garlic, ginger etc. depending on curry I am making, once they are soft I add the spices and let them fry, but the flavours don't come through.
Are they any curry experts out there that can help?
Do I need to add the salt when frying the spices to help the flavours come through?
Sometimes when frying the spices the oil is nearly gone so the spices are frying dry, does this hinder the flavours coming through?
I thought I was adding too many tomatoes and that was over powering the flavours of the spices but I've tried adding fewer tomatoes but still the curry is bland.
Do I need to add a little water when frying the spices to help flavours come through.
I feel like I've tried everything and cannot identify the blocker.
Help if you can.
Thanks!!
