To make a gravy version, add 1 cup of water instead of 1/4 cup and simmer until the vegetables are cooked. You can also add 1/4 cup of tomato puree for a thicker, tangier gravy.
Add 1-2 slit green chilies along with the onions for an extra kick of heat.
For a Jain or Satvik version, simply skip the onion and ginger-garlic paste. The sabzi will still be delicious.
You can add a handful of green peas or diced carrots along with the potatoes for added nutrition and texture.
