For a richer flavor, use ghee (clarified butter) instead of vegetable oil. Adjust the amount of chili powder to your desired level of spiciness. A pinch of garam masala added at the end of cooking will enhance the aroma and flavor. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves for a pop of freshness and color. A dollop of yogurt or a squeeze of lemon juice can also be added just before serving. Serve hot over basmati rice or with naan bread.

Dec 1, 2024I found the curry a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll reduce the chili powder.
