Chef's Tips

For a spicier curry, add more chili powder or a chopped chili pepper.

You can add other vegetables like cauliflower, carrots, or bell peppers to this curry.

If the curry becomes too thick, add more water or beef broth to reach your desired consistency.

This curry can be made ahead of time and reheated. The flavors will meld together even more as it sits.

Serve with a dollop of yogurt or raita for a cooling effect.
