How to use this list

Common mistakes
A frequent mistake is forgetting curry leaves—they add a distinct flavor and can be hard to substitute. Using chicken breast instead of thighs can make the dish dry. Not having enough parotta or using regular tortillas changes the texture. Some skip the fresh ginger or use too little curry powder, which dulls the flavor. Double-check you have enough oil for proper frying.
