Before going vegan, I made this dish a lot. There was no chili, curry leaves or sugar added. There were several additional spices not listed here. I made it for a summer party, for the buffet. Luckily, I had prepped additional spices, because I had to make more. It was the first dish consumed.
Sounds like a hit and that all enjoyed it tremendously
