Tips & Secrets
- The secret to a great thick curry is ensuring the rice flour slurry is whisked properly before adding.
- Always use mustard oil for the authentic sharp Northeast flavor profile; other oils will not provide the same character.
- Cooking the garlic until it is almost charred provides a smoky depth to the mild greens.
