How should I resolve having dry spices in my Thai curry? It's just gritty.

I use a mortar and pestle and cook them up from the start along with all the aromatics etc. I can tell they benefit the dish, but then never soften up.

They just turn into grit. I thought one of two things - either I'm burning them or not grinding them fine enough. Otherwise the dish is good. Started bad but it's getting a lot better the more tweaks I make. This is definitely texturally holding it back though.

Thing is, I do the same thing when I'm starting a chana or something and I don't have that problem. Kind of at a loss.
