For a richer flavor, use full-fat coconut milk instead of coconut milk powder. Adjust the amount of hot paprika and green chilies to your desired spice level. Garnish generously with cilantro and lemon for a burst of freshness. Consider adding other vegetables such as onions, peas, or carrots for added nutrition and flavor.

Sauté the Vegetables and Chicken: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the red bell peppers and curry leaves, cooking and stirring constantly for 2 minutes.

Create the Curry Base: Combine the turmeric, hot paprika, and toasted chickpea flour. Sprinkle this spice mixture over the chicken and vegetables, stirring constantly for 2 minutes. Pour in 1/4 cup of water to prevent sticking. Dissolve the coconut milk powder in 1 cup of water. Pour this mixture over the chicken and vegetable mixture, then reduce the heat to low. Stir occasionally while preparing the pasta.
