Tips for Perfect Aloo Gobi

• Even Cooking: Cut the potatoes and cauliflower into similar-sized pieces for even cooking.
• Dry Version: For a drier version, cook uncovered towards the end to let excess moisture evaporate.
• Flavor Boost: Add a squeeze of lemon juice or sprinkle some amchur (dry mango powder) before serving for a tangy twist.
