Absolutely. For a no onion, no garlic (Jain/Satvik) version, simply skip them. You can add a pinch of asafoetida (hing) to the hot oil for a distinct flavor that complements the potatoes.
Ensure your potato cubes are cut small (around 1/2-inch). Cooking on low heat with the lid on is crucial for steaming them properly. If they remain hard, add another 2-3 tablespoons of hot water and continue cooking covered until tender.
Yes, red and yellow bell peppers work wonderfully in this recipe. They add a beautiful color and a slightly sweeter taste compared to green bell peppers. A mix of all three looks and tastes great.
