From experience, the trick is all about layering spices. Fry whole spices like cumin seeds in oil first, then add ground spices like garam masala and red chili powder as you cook. Fresh chilies also add a kick!
Honestly, just throw in a lot of chili powder. Your taste buds might hate you, but it'll be spicy!
To make spicy Indian food, add fresh green chilis, red chili powder, or use a spicy curry paste like Vindaloo. Just remember, there's no shame in keeping a glass of milk nearby!
