Yes i think not having cooked it is a main factor !I (we) seem to be too critical of our work . I'm sure at some stage we have had the missing taste but over looked it as we are too busy telling ourselves it's not quite right . I even smell the takeaway foil containers over and over again thinking i will find the link . I will be training the wife to cook my next curry ;D But for now i'm off to the Indian for a takeaway
