Lessons in curry failings

You're most welcome Chilli.
Nothing worse than playing without a bass player. Pointless really, i should know. 
I believe (almost) EVERY curry needs fresh coriander and added twice in my opinion. The curries always feel empty when i've run out and have to cook without it.
A handful halfway through (stalks preferably) and the same amount of leaves at the end, off the heat.

How about making up a batch of spiced oil and onion paste?
Both will certainly help to add some more layers to the curries.

Frank.

Ok so curry night is swiftly approaching again.
Goal: How to achieve greater depth in smoothness whilst retaining the existing attributes.

I will be using Lamb this time (shouldn't matter). The base was left to sit for over 24 hours before freezing.

Coriander to be added half way through cooking.

I will resist the urge to spoon in the base in a slight hurry like I usually do. I will wait until each ladle is cooked before adding the next. Popadoms will be made available to me throughout cooking time to help assist in this matter.

Ok the results are in! I doubled the cooking time, because I had lamb I did not have to worry about the tenderness being effected by long cooking periods. The result was, indeed, a much much smoother curry.

So I think the idea of removing the chicken to let the sauce cook off a bit is a good idea.

I just wonder how this is implemented in restaurant kitchens? Perhaps the gravy is on the heat all day so its already pretty smooth. Idk.
