Notes

This dish is perfect for meal prep; it tastes even better the next day. Adjust the spice level to your preference by modifying the number of chilies used. Serve with warm naan or fluffy basmati rice for the best experience. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge, or freeze portions for up to 3 months. Reheat gently before serving.
