- If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer the curry uncovered for a few extra minutes to allow it to reduce.
- Feel free to add vegetables like potatoes, carrots, or bell peppers to the curry for added texture and flavor.
- Adjust the amount of tamarind paste and lime juice according to your taste preferences for a perfect balance of tanginess.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and enjoyed the next day, as the flavors tend to develop and intensify over time.
