For a richer flavor, consider using coconut oil instead of vegetable oil. Adjust the chili powder according to your spice preference. A pinch of cayenne pepper can also be added for extra heat. Serve with warm naan bread, basmati rice, or quinoa for a complete and satisfying meal. This masala also pairs beautifully with a dollop of plain yogurt or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for added brightness.
