Tips
- If you want a richer curry, you can add a tablespoon of yoghurt or cream to the pan along with the coconut milk.
- If you don't have garam masala powder, you can substitute a mixture of ground coriander, cumin, and cardamom.
- You can also add other vegetables to this curry, such as potatoes, carrots, or peas.
