Needs 2X sauce plus some kick. We added 1 tsp smoked paprika plus 2X curry

This very good but it was pretty runny, making for a very messy sandwich -- not necessarily a bad thing. I made the curry powder myself by pounding cardamon, fennel seeds, coriander, turmeric etc. (there are many curry combinations and they season foods from all over the world so I wish what type or which ingredients in a recipe.) It resulted in an interesting combination of tastes.
