This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. Next time, I'll use less chili powder.

This dish was a bit too oily for my liking. I think I'll reduce the amount of oil next time.

I found the spice blend to be a bit overpowering. Next time, I'll use less cumin and coriander.
