Garnish and Serve
To make this recipe Jain-friendly, omit the potatoes and ginger. You can use raw bananas (plantains) as a substitute for potatoes.
Incorporate 1/2 cup of green peas or chopped bell peppers along with the potatoes for added nutrition, color, and texture.
For a richer, restaurant-style curry, stir in a tablespoon of heavy cream or cashew paste at the very end after turning off the heat.
Tomatoes are an excellent source of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage, supports heart health, and may reduce the risk of certain chronic diseases.
Potatoes provide a good source of complex carbohydrates, which are the body's primary fuel. This makes the dish satisfying and helps maintain steady energy levels.

Yes, this dish is perfectly suited for a pressure cooker, which significantly reduces the cooking time. Follow the recipe steps until you add water. Then, close the lid and cook on medium heat for 2-3 whistles. Allow the pressure to release naturally before opening.
