Homemade lamb curry, I enjoy making recipes up as I go.
Usually they work out ok. Usually.

Can't go too badly wrong with a curry

Beer might be good to add to the curry if you fuck it up

I think adding the fenugreek was a mistake, otherwise we're good

Oh I so wish I liked fenugreek but it's SO bitter

and I adore the bitter flavours mainly. I'll happily shove as much of those flavinoids are they into myself as possible

No idea why fenugreek is a blind spot. Just from the name alone it should be fabulous. "Oh I've added a bit of fenugreek into this, hope you like it," I say, looking at you warmly. I want that life I want to be that person

Durian sounds sexy
It smells like a rotting horse. Names aren't indicative of the niceness of things.

It was too much when I tasted the sauce halfway through cooking,
but after another hour and the addition of yoghurt, it was fine.

For future reference, coconut milk works great, too

You mean the seeds? For use in curries you could try either frying or dry roasting them
but either way keep the temp lower and heat them for less time than you would most other Indian spices. Mainly do not char, brown, or burn them.
Also get them into whatever you're cooking nice and early, they need to cook in for a significant time to mellow out properly.
If it's done properly they turn a bit translucent at the edges. Still somewhat bitter, but manageable and worth it.
I have an average bitterness tolerance. If yours is average or higher then careful cooking might change your mind.

Dry roasting is much preferable
Less chance of burning

I started ad-libbing curries from scratch last year, and they've all turned out pretty well.
It just tastes great when you toast the spices in a dry pan first.

I used to do that, but usually do them in oil now.
