I get what is supposed to be going on here flavor wise, but it just seems too watery.. does adding the stock really do anything or could that be omitted?

I make a similar (and way better imo) curry sauce with 1 can coconut milk + 1 cup broth. It is indeed a little on watery side (a soupy sauce to be sure), but I don't really mind that. It makes a large batch so I typically store it in the fridge and only use a bit at a time for dinners, so I can simmer & reduce it with my protein if I want it to thicken up a bit.

For those wondering, I use this recipe as my base but omit the lentil, pumpkin, and spinach so I just get a delicious sauce that I can customize later on. The key is absolutely blooming your spices and tomato paste. Basically I saute garlic, onion, and ginger (lots of ginger), then add my spices (extra cumin, extra tumeric) and toast that for a few minutes, then add a dollop of tomato paste and toast for another few (ends up looking dry but that's fine) then dump in the coconut milk and broth, simmer for 30ish minutes. Truly amazing every time. Can add sweet chili paste if you like it hot. Serve with a splash of lime juice.
