For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of red wine vinegar or a dash of hot sauce during the simmering process. If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can use crushed tomatoes instead of diced tomatoes. Serve this dish with a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream for a cooling contrast to the spice.
