- Lime zest — Use a microplane or fine grater to zest the lime, being careful to only remove the green outer layer and not the bitter white pith.

- For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken with tofu or a variety of vegetables such as cauliflower, bell peppers, and potatoes.
- Adjust the level of spiciness by increasing or decreasing the amount of chili powder according to your preference.
- Serve the Madras Curry Fusion Delight with steamed basmati rice or naan bread for a complete meal.
- To enhance the flavors, marinate the chicken (or vegetables) in a mixture of yogurt, ginger, and garlic before adding it to the curry.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and enjoyed the next day, as the flavors tend to develop and intensify over time.
