Expert Tips for the Best Til Potato
- For a deeper flavor, dry roast the sesame seeds (til) in a dry pan before adding them to the dish.
- Adjust the amount of Kashmiri chili powder to control the level of spice. For a milder version, reduce the amount or omit it entirely.
- Feel free to experiment with other spices like garam masala or ginger for an extra layer of complexity.
- For a vegetarian option, ensure your tomato sauce does not contain any animal products.
