What is missing from this curry recipe?


It was delicious but something is still missing. I marinated chicken breast cubes in:
1 cup of plain yogurt
1 cup of whey (leftover from some paneer I made)
1 heaping teaspoon of cilantro-ginger-garlic paste
1 T chili powder
1 T cumin
1 tsp coriander
A pinch of cinnamon, salt, and pepper

I left the chicken marinating for about 24 hours. Then I sauteed half an onion in some butter (I know ghee would have been better) until translucent. I added a 15 oz. can of crushed tomatoes and the chicken along with all of the marinade. Then I let it simmer until the chicken was done. I know it's missing garam masala but that's why I added cinnamon and extra cumin. What's missing?
Curry powder is not missing! Curry powder is just a blend of other spices, the ones I included in the recipe.

Garam Masala and curry powder are just blends of other spices. The one in my cupboard has ginger, mustard flour, turmeric, allspice, cumin, coriander seeds, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. It's easy enough to do your own (as people who grow up with these foods do). Seems like you could've used some or all of the following common curry ingredients: garlic, chilies, turmeric, a bit of cayenne, mustard seeds, fenugreek, and perhaps some fresh coriander/cilantro leaves. I also like to use cumin seeds as opposed to cumin powder, but I don't think it really makes much difference. Maybe some lemon juice as well?

Also, I'm not sure simply marinating the chicken in the spices is enough. When you're sauteeing the onion is when you should add things like garlic, chilies, and mustard seeds (careful, they pop!). Also, adding some spices to the tomato mixture could help as well.

I wouldn't bother with whey... might've taken the punch out of the marinade.
