Cook the Aloo Gobi (15 minutes)
Garnish and Serve (3 minutes)
Add 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen green peas along with the cauliflower for added sweetness and texture.
For a richer, creamier finish, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of heavy cream or beaten yogurt (curd) at the very end, after turning off the heat.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of amchur (dry mango powder) at the end for a tangy flavor, or a pinch of fennel powder with the other spices for a different aromatic profile.
