Go to those indian shop that sell spices ...
High chances they mix their own curry powder. Get those.

Try it with Fish curry powder.

Btw, do you need 10 shallots? Seems overkill

And also 1 tablespoon ain't enough. Try it with 2 tablespoon (After garlic, shallots etc, before the soy sauces)

Add another tbsp at the end if it still don't taste 'heong' enough


Oh, adding a tsp (Teaspoon) of chicken stock powder and MSG will help you achieve 'restaurant' taste (1 tablespoon if you are into very 'heavy' taste)

3 clove garlic, 3 shallots, 1 stalk of lemongrass should be enough for 2 thigh meat.
Oyster sauce should be essential seasoning, and 3 cili padi don't seems enough.
Add in a few dried cili too

Some MSG are healthy, look at Japanese, they are living till 100s, it draws out the taste.
