For a richer flavor, use ghee (clarified butter) instead of olive oil. Adjust the amount of spices to your preference. If you like it spicier, add a pinch of cayenne pepper. If the sauce becomes too thick during simmering, add a little water to reach your desired consistency. Serve hot with basmati rice or naan bread for a complete and satisfying meal. Garnish with fresh cilantro for added freshness.
