For a richer flavor, use ghee (clarified butter) instead of vegetable oil. If you don't have amchoor, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end brightens the dish. Serve hot with Indian rotis, pita bread, or naan, and a side of plain yogurt or raita. Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or potatoes for a heartier meal.
