This is one of my favorite Indian dishes. I love the tender spiced potatoes and cauliflower and sweet peas add the perfect brightness to the dish. I omitted the chilis to keep it mild and kid-friendly but when I eat this, my husband and I are sure to load it up with extra spices. That’s one of my tricks is to add the heat individually so I don’t overwhelm anyone eating. Spice lovers are always welcome at our house.
