Tips & Variations
For a creamier curry, add a dollop of natural yogurt or cream just before serving.
Feel free to swap out vegetables depending on the season or what you have on hand. Cauliflower, sweet potatoes, or butternut squash work beautifully in this curry.
If you prefer a spicier dish, increase the chili powder or add fresh chopped green chilies. For a vegan version, ensure your curry powder contains no dairy and omit any yogurt additions.
To make this curry gluten-free, double-check your curry powder and canned tomatoes for any additives. Serve with basmati rice or warm naan bread to soak up all that delicious sauce.
