Add a handful of fried or boiled moong dal mangodi (sun-dried lentil dumplings) along with the tomatoes to add extra protein and a delightful texture.
For extra heat, add a pinch of black pepper powder along with the garam masala or use a spicier variety of red chili powder.

You can prepare the gravy base in advance and refrigerate it. When you are ready to serve, simply reheat the gravy until it's hot, and then add the roasted papad pieces. Do not add the papad in advance.
