As the note at the top of the page says, you can use 1 tablespoon of curry power or garam masala to replace the spice mix. When my sister made it she used garam masala, but I only had curry powder on hand. Even though I knew this was an option, when I went to add the curry powder my mind blocked out the '1 tablespoon' so I counted how many teaspoons were in the spice mixture list and therefore put 4 teaspoons of curry powder in (which is a little over the 1 tablespoon asked for).
I didn't have any 'red or green chili' and was unclear about the kind of chili wanted so I just used red pepper flakes (as suggested by my sister).
I was apparently out of it while cooking and when I read 'add salt and lime juice to taste' I thought it meant as a garnish on the dish... so after I sprinkled a little on top of our dishes and we tried a bite we decided it was good, but a little on the bland side. I then re-read the directions and realized you were actually supposed to incorporate in the curry. I've since fixed it and imagine the left overs will be even more delicious than dinner was tonight!
Not going to lie, the carnivore in me wanted chicken in this... even my (recently) vegetarian housemate said it'd be delicious with chicken. Next time I make it perhaps I will either incorporate chicken into it or make some for the side if i've got vegetarians to serve!
Tonight I served the curry on top of some rice and extra spinach.
