  • Use a good quality garam masala: Garam masala is a key ingredient in this dish, so be sure to use a good quality one. A good garam masala will have a complex flavor with notes of cumin, coriander, cardamom, and cinnamon.
  • Adjust the spice level to your taste: This dish can be made as mild or spicy as you like. If you don't like spicy food, you can reduce the amount of chili powder used. If you like spicy food, you can add more chili powder or even some chopped green chilies.
