Tips:

- For extra crunch, consider adding some chopped nuts or seeds such as almonds or sunflower seeds.

- Let the slaw sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together perfectly.

- If you prefer a vegan version, substitute the Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt.

- Adjust the amount of curry powder to your taste preference; start with less if you're unsure about the spice level.

- Make sure to finely shred the cabbage and carrots for the best texture and consistency.
