Curry was really bitter

I made a curry today from the following spice mix recipe:

x1 tbsp Ground Coriander

x1 tbsp Ground Cumin

x1 tbsp Chilli powder

x1 tbsp Turmeric

x2 tbsp Ground Fenugreek

x2 tbsp Garam Masala

x5 tomatoes

x2 tbsp tomato paste

x2 onions

A lot of garlic and some ginger

It was bitter as shit, and I don't think it's because I burned the spices. I ended up adding a LOT of salt, sugar, cream and even lemon juice but I couldn't save it/make it edible. I did think the volume of spices was, uh, quite a lot but went with it anyway. Is this just a bad recipe or could I have done something wrong?
