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.
