Tips:  

  • For extra-rich flavor, substitute ghee for butter.
  • For a dry version, omit tomato sauce, skip Step 4, and don’t add water in Step 5.
  • Stir in 1/2 cup frozen green peas with potato and cauliflower in Step 5.
  • Substitute 4 cups halved brussels sprouts for cauliflower.
  • Lower-carb variation: substitute 8 ounces halved mushrooms for potato.
  • Vegan variation: substitute non-dairy spread or vegetable oil for butter.
