For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice just before serving. Feel free to customize this recipe with other vegetables or proteins. Diced bell peppers, spinach, or cooked chicken would all be delicious additions. If you prefer a spicier curry, increase the amount of curry powder or add a pinch of red pepper flakes. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
