For a nutty flavor and texture, add 1 tablespoon of toasted white sesame seeds along with the coriander leaves at the end.
To make a gravy version (rasawala), add 1 cup of thin buttermilk or a mixture of 1/4 cup gram flour (besan) whisked with 1 cup of water to the sautéed masala. Simmer until the gravy thickens before adding the potatoes.
For a slightly sweet and different take, substitute baby potatoes with cubed sweet potatoes (shakarkandi). Adjust boiling time accordingly.
Garlic is the star ingredient and is rich in Allicin, a compound known for its potent antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties, which can help strengthen the immune system.
The presence of turmeric and garlic provides anti-inflammatory benefits. Curcumin in turmeric and sulfur compounds in garlic help combat chronic inflammation in the body.

Lasaniya Batata can be part of a balanced diet. It's rich in garlic, which has numerous health benefits. However, it is high in carbohydrates from the potatoes and contains a significant amount of oil. To make it healthier, you can reduce the amount of oil used.

Absolutely. To reduce the heat, you can omit the regular red chili powder and use only Kashmiri red chili powder, which is milder and used mainly for color. You can also reduce the amount of garlic slightly.
Yes, you can. If using regular potatoes, peel them, cut them into 1.5-inch cubes, and then boil them until fork-tender before using them in the recipe.
Store leftover Lasaniya Batata in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat in a pan or microwave before serving.
