  • For a richer flavor, use ghee (clarified butter) instead of vegetable oil.
  • Adjust the amount of red chili powder according to your spice preference.
  • If using fresh peas, add them towards the end of the cooking time to retain their bright green color and prevent overcooking.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice at the end for a zesty twist.
