Always taste as you go and adjust seasoning to your preference.
For a spicier kick, add cayenne pepper or chopped chili.
This dish stores well in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat gently, adding a splash of coconut milk if needed.
You can freeze it for up to 3 months, but it's best to add fresh spinach only when reheating for optimal texture.
