Notes
- Add red chili powder or green chilli if you like more heat in your curries (add them at the seasoning stage).
- Add coconut milk or cream along with the tomatoes, to produce a more korma-like ladies finger curry.
- If you cannot find garam masala, you can add ⅛ teaspoon ground cumin seeds and ⅛ teaspoon coriander powder.
