Finish and Garnish
Add 1/2 teaspoon of kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves), crushed between your palms, along with the garam masala for a classic Punjabi aroma.
For a sour note, add 1/2 teaspoon of amchur (dry mango powder) at the end of cooking.
Add 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen green peas along with the potatoes for extra texture and sweetness.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of whisked yogurt (curd) or fresh cream after adding the garam masala for a richer, creamier finish. Cook for another minute on low heat.
