IMHO its not the lemon that was missing. Note that the recipe uses the
standard technique of frying the curry in oil to bring out the oil
soluable flavors. Also consider the difference in quantity of curry.

Sorry. I thought you wanted a recipe. But if it was suggestions you were
looking for, I usually add some chopped dried apricots to curries for
sweetness, a nice balance to the sour of the lemon juice.
