Strange recipe. Must be the coconut milk that's making it more like a thai. To rescue it, use some curry paste if you have, and also a good big spoonful of tomato puree.
I make a wonderful, just-like-a-restaurant Indian style curry from a recipe my friend gave me. I never make my curries any other way now TBh. If you want me to post the recipe, no problem. Just have a few things to do first.

Hi, if you have got some garam masala try mixing that with some cornflour (I would say 2 tsp of garam masala with 2 tbsp of cornflour). Add water until its like sticky goo, you dont want it too runny, then add this into your curry stirring well. If its still too runny repeat the process.

The garam masala should darken it a bit too. I dont see why you couldnt substitute curry powder for the garam masala if thats all you have got.

Adding a tbsp of curry paste is a good idea too, should darken it and make it less sweet.
