Unfortunately, I found this just awful. Against my better judgement, I included the thyme and clove--therein lay the weird taste and dry exterior. The only thing that made this even edible was a layer of Patak Eggplant Relish and a spinach raita. I love the salmon curry elsewhere in CL, so it's not the combo of Indian spices and salmon, but this particular group of spices that was quite unsavory.
