Treat your ingredients with care...

Rabbit — Ensure that the rabbit is fresh and properly cleaned before cooking. If rabbit is not available, you can substitute it with chicken or lamb for a different flavor profile.

Tips & Tricks

For a spicier curry, increase the amount of chili powder or add a chopped fresh chili.
Serve the curry with a side of steamed rice or naan bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
Marinating the rabbit in the spice mixture overnight will enhance the flavors even more.
Adjust the amount of spices according to your personal taste preferences.
Leftovers can be refrigerated and enjoyed the next day, as the flavors tend to develop and intensify over time.
