They'll usually just add more chili powder or fresh chilies, and sometimes, they'll use spicy oils or pastes too. It's all about layering those heat levels!
Extra chili = extra spicy. Simple as that.
As someone who's worked in an Indian restaurant, I can tell you they often have a 'spicy mix' ready to go. Just a pinch of this concoction can turn any mild dish into a fiery masterpiece.
They increase the use of spices like green chilies, black pepper, and even ginger. Plus, they might also use spicier variations of sauces.
