Hi if I'm following a recipe for chicken curry but I want to add a lot more vegetables than the recipe calls for, will I need to up the spice levels?

when you say "adding a lot more", are you effectively using say twice as much veg? So effectively you are doubling the amount that the recipe makes...

When it comes to spicing, less is often more, as they say. I would make it using the amount of spices that the recipe calls for but just adjust the amount of salt to taste. If, after making it, you feel it needed more spices, when you make it again you could adjust the spices accordingly to your own taste. Just my two cents for what it's worth.

Well, if you are doubling the amount of vegetables, you should increase the spices accordingly. You can always and adjust most later. Turmeric needs to cook properly, or can give a slightly bitter taste.
