For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a dollop of plain yogurt or a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving. Feel free to adjust the amount of chili powder to suit your preferred level of spiciness. This curry is even more delicious the next day, as the flavors have had more time to meld together. It's perfect for meal prepping! Serve with a side of fluffy basmati rice or warm naan bread for a complete and satisfying meal.
