Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier dressing, consider adding a dollop of yogurt or mayonnaise. If you're out of curry powder, garam masala can be a great substitute. You can also swap the vinegar for lemon juice or apple cider vinegar for a different flavor profile. Adjust the sugar to taste; honey or maple syrup can also work well as sweeteners.
