I found a recipe for lamb chettinad online and it turned out ok, but seemed to be lacking in depth and complexity. I tried adding salt and acid but that wasn’t doing the trick.

I‘be been cooking Indian food for probably around 15 years now, and I’m far from being any sort of expert, but the recipe did seem legit, no shortcuts, typical cooking techniques, etc. Is this a case of just needing to use a higher quantity of spices? Any suggestions are most welcome, thank you in advance!

These are the spices/aromatics I used: bay leaf, cinnamon stick, fennel seeds, curry leaves, ginger, garlic, turmeric powder, Kashmiri chili powder, garam masala (pre packaged Badshah brand), cumin seed, sesame seed, urad dal. Does anything look off?
