Like it a bit spicier? Add a packet of crushed red pepper flakes.
Tip for cleaning up and less chance of burning food: use hard anodized aluminium or non-stick for cooking in. One pot meals don’t work so great in thin-walled Titanium pots. Done eating? Wipe pot out with a brand name paper towel, it’ll remove the grease and flavorings without having to scrub.
