- Instead of grinding the onion, ginger and garlic, you can just saute it and then add the vegetables.
- If you don�t want the masala taste, you can avoid adding fennel seeds, ginger and garlic. The main purpose of adding fennel seeds and ginger is because these are good for digestion.
- While trying this dish, you can add different vegetable at various times, as it will be more colourful and d should not be more boring to our family members.
- Don�t waste the Cooked vegetable water, pour it into gravy along with smashed vegetables.
- It is good to store the fried gram powder in air tight box. Just add half a spoon of this powder to any kind of gravy before switching off the flame. This makes the dish tastier and gives a thicker consistency.
