Sounds a lot like a green thai curry with fish and spinach.
I made something simular, adding limejuice, fishsauce, prawnpaste and cumin to the paste and with halibut and asparagus.
Very delicious.
I can see how it might be a bit bland, without the extra ingredients I added to the paste.

Not difficult but disappointing,very bland, the only thing to do would be to add more chile but then my kids would not like!!
