Try adding… - Spices like cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, bay leaf, and more! If you want to experiment with that, just add them to taste in small portions to see how your favorite spice and herb match with this stew.  - Coconut milk! This can make the stew so much creamier and thicker, too, while adding in a delicious touch of sweetness. - Seasonal veggies! A good choice when you have picky eaters who refuse to eat the green stuff on their plates.
