Preparing the Potatoes

  • Heat oil in a pan or pot over medium heat. Add asafoetida and let it crackle.
  • Add the potatoes and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Adding the Ivy Gourd

  • Add the ivy gourd to the pan, mix well, and cook for 2-3 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Incorporating Spices

  • Add red chili powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and roasted cumin powder. Stir well to combine.
  • Sprinkle in 1/2 cup of water (or as needed) to help the spices blend and the vegetables cook evenly. Cover the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes on low heat.

Finishing the Dish

  • Once the sabzi is slightly dry, add salt and amchur powder. Mix gently. Turn off the heat and let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving.
  • Serve hot with roti, rice, or your favorite side dishes.

  • For a richer flavor, use a combination of ghee and oil for tempering.
  • Adjust the amount of red chili powder according to your spice preference.
  • If you don't have amchur powder, you can substitute with a squeeze of lemon juice at the end.
  • Don't overcook the ivy gourd, as it can become mushy. Cook until just tender.
