Good, but not amazing

This recipe was pretty good, and nothing about it was actually bad, but I felt it was lacking sweetness. I am used to thinking of curries as either spicy or sweet, and since this had neither, I cannot give it the full five stars. This is still a very good recipe, as the other members of my family who ate this greatly enjoyed it, and the spices were well-balanced, but as the cook (and amateur food critic) I can't quite elevate this to five stars. Perhaps if it incorporated coconut milk, or a small amount of maple syrup with the yogurt. I shall have to experiment!
