Add ½ cup of green peas (fresh or frozen) along with the potatoes in step 2 for a classic combination.
Add 1 finely chopped onion after the cumin seeds splutter. Sauté until golden brown before adding the ginger and potatoes.
For a simpler flavor profile, omit the coriander powder and dry mango powder. Increase the cumin seeds to 1.5 tsp to make it the dominant flavor.
Add 1 finely chopped tomato after the ginger and cook until it becomes soft and mushy before adding the potatoes. This will create a slightly moist sabzi.

Absolutely! This traditional recipe is naturally free of onion and garlic, making it a 'satvik' dish suitable for those who avoid them.
Waxy potatoes such as Yukon Gold, red potatoes, or new potatoes are ideal. They are lower in starch and hold their shape well after cooking, preventing the dish from becoming mushy.
To avoid mushy potatoes, do not overcook them, use a waxy variety of potato, and add water sparingly, only a tablespoon at a time if they start to stick. Stir gently, especially after adding the final spices.
Store any leftover sabzi in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan or microwave before serving.
