Notes
- Hot Chilies. Use any of your favorites. Kashmiri chilies are preferred, but any work here, like Fresno, jalapeno, serrano, or hotter like red habanero. You can also use dried pods, but rehydrate them in hot water first before pureeing.
- Curry Powder. Use your favorite. This recipe works with any general brand, any type of homemade, or any specific curry powder. Experiment to find your favorite.
- Chicken Stock. You can use water instead, or try coconut milk or a mix of water/stock with yogurt for a creamier version.
- You can easily add in your favorite vegetables to make this a fuller dish.
