I tried browning the meat in olive oil with some chili powder - it turned out well, the whole curry, but I'm not sure I noticed a difference between this and how it usually is.
But MMMMM! The spice... the flavor... the colors (added some red pepper so it was yellow with green and red). Soooo good!
'Twas most excellent.
Yeah, really...I don't think I noticed much of a taste difference either, just liked the brown appearance. Made it slightly more appetizing to me.
It did turn out good! Except now it's after 2:30am and I have indigestion! LOL!!!
Plop plop fizz fizz.
