- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh turmeric, if available, can be grated and used instead of powder for an even stronger anti-inflammatory punch.
- Don’t skip the coconut milk: It adds creaminess and balances the spices perfectly.
- Make it heartier: Add quinoa, brown rice, or whole-grain pasta for a more filling meal.
