Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using ghee instead of oil for sautéing; it enhances the dish's richness. If you're short on time, pre-chopped vegetables can speed up the process. You can substitute the milk with a non-dairy alternative like almond or soy milk. Additionally, feel free to add other vegetables like carrots or bell peppers for extra nutrition and color.

It pairs beautifully with Indian recipes like Quick Chicken Curry or Bombay Chicken With Almonds for a hearty feast. Consider garnishing with fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lemon juice for added brightness.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, do so on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of milk or water to prevent drying out. Stir occasionally to ensure even heating. This dish can also be enjoyed cold as a salad.
