Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For best results, reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water or broth to prevent sticking.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro and a dollop of plain yogurt for extra flavor and creaminess.
  • To deepen the flavor, toast the garam masala and turmeric in the dry skillet for 30 seconds before adding the oil.
