Salvage Spice Operation - a Success!



While we enjoyed yesterday's meal, 
we both found it was not spicy enough.
It needed more heat and spice! So, after some thinking, 
internet searching and advice from a curry-making friend,
I commenced on a plan to revise the already cooked food!
***
My "Salvage Spice Operation" worked great! 
Here's what I did:
 Melted coconut oil, sauteed half an onion (chopped up), 
added lots of spices, ground, including: 
turmeric, cayenne pepper, coriander, cumin, cinnamon.  
Chopped up two jalapeno green peppers and 
put in everything other than the top (so the seeds went in as well). 
Added freshly ground black pepper and freshly ground sea salt. 
Added coconut oil as I went/as needed.  
I then added this mixture to the 3 dishes I made 
(half of it went right to be bigger dish as it was 2x the size)
 and 1/4 each in the other two.  
Much better - heat and spice was more present.  
Salvage Spice Operation was a success, 
and I learned another new technique for cooking! YAY!
