Tips & Secrets
- Using fresh green peas instead of frozen ones provides a superior professional-grade sweetness to the gravy.
- Slow-cooking the masala until the oil separates is mandatory for achieving the authentic home-style Punjabi flavor.
- The secret to a great 'Tari' is using warm water for cooking, which keeps the vegetables tender and flavorful.
- Mashing a couple of potato cubes into the gravy at the end creates a slightly thicker and more cohesive texture.
