My experience has been that this is super flavourful with the measurements as marked, at least with the original version. You could always up the salt, the curry powder, or add something a bit acidic to bring out the flavours. As well, just in case this isn't consistent everywhere, where I used a capital T, that's a tablespoon (equivalent to 3 teaspoons), so if you used teaspoons instead of tablespoons, that could also account for the lack of flavour. Hope that helps!!<br /><br />@Julie - I would keep the chopped apples if you like them, but it would be fine without. Might be nice to add a bay leaf as well.leslie @ definitely not marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01737456208934610628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24912646.post-30805375508309596222016-12-19T11:04:43.409-05:002016-12-19T11:04:43.409-05:00My kids helped and we gifted them to their teacher...My kids helped and we gifted them to their teachers.

My only advice would be to take applying pressure to the blade in the mold slowly if the change to the blade is going to be quite extreme.
