Cook the Sabzi
Finish and Garnish

Add a pinch of asafoetida (hing) with the cumin seeds and finish the dish with a teaspoon of ghee for a richer flavor.

Spices like cumin and coriander are traditionally known in Ayurveda to stimulate digestive enzymes and improve gut health.
Turmeric, a key spice in this dish, contains curcumin, a compound renowned for its potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

This usually happens if you use starchy potatoes (like Russet), overcook them, or add too much water. Use waxy potatoes and cook on low heat, adding water only if absolutely necessary.
